Duck Butter (2018)

There is one terrific segment in this film and, unfortunately, it happens right at the beginning. Naima (Alia Shawkat) shows up for her first day of acting in a Duplass Brothers movie. She struggles to "go with the flow" and gets a gentle dressing-down by Jay & Mark when she attempts to blame her castmates for her own rough work.

The bulk of the story concerns Naima and Sergio, the singer/songwriter she just met at a bar, deciding to fast-track their relationship by spending the next 24 hours together while staying awake. It's charming at first, but doesn't take long to become oppressive. I didn't want to be with them.
