Liquor Bank (2025) Review & Summary

Liquor Bank carries weight as it puts you either in the mindset of the person at the end of their rope, or the person trying to pull their friend up – who is losing grip.

Review and Commentary

Highlight(s)

In 15 Minutes, It Can Trigger Something Inside You [86/100]

Like many people, I have not only addicts in my family, but also people who seem to get in their own way. With that said, watching Liquor Bank easily can put you in the mindset of Baker or Eddie. Either you are the one who sees yourself in a downward spiral, sick of trying, and ready to hit the reset button on life, or the friend willing to go the extra mile, but are reaching your limit on what can be done since, your capacity for someone else’s troubles is reaching its limit.

In some ways, while watching, you might be glad this is only 15 minutes. If it were longer, it wouldn’t just trigger a memory and you find yourself exploring settled feelings, but take you all through the journey of either what you went through or a loved one, if not both, and probably leave you in tears. I was even at the point of getting that feeling in my nose, the first sign you may have a Viola Davis-styled cry, just as this was ending.

Overall

Our Rating (86/100): Positive (Worth Seeing) – Recommended

We don’t get to see too many shorts outside of film festival season, and with Tribeca only a month away, this feels like a warm-up and a reminder of why it is essential to cover and see shorts. From creatives who are trying something new or different, to getting to see stories that sometimes aren’t given the nuance or vision it deserves, shorts like Liquor Bank remind you there is so much out there you haven’t seen, and it sometimes is just in human stories, not flashy and grandeur special effects.
