A.C.O.D.

• Comedy

A darkly comedic exploration of long-term familial dysfunction, *A.C.O.D.* focuses on a man unexpectedly re-immersed in the fallout of his parents’ endlessly protracted divorce as an adult. The narrative unfolds not as a typical romantic comedy or family drama, but as a cynical, often awkward dissection of inherited trauma—specifically, the unintended consequences of being a subject in a decades-long study on children of divorce. This isn’t a story of resolution, but of amplified chaos as revisiting the past disrupts a fragile present, presented with a deliberately off-kilter and uncomfortable humor that scrutinizes the absurdity of seeking neat answers to messy emotional realities. The film's unconventional structure and honest portrayal of intergenerational pain differentiates it from formulaic comedies about finding love or family harmony.
