Iliza Schlesinger: Confirmed Kills (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Bobcat Goldthwait
Cast: Iliza Schlesinger
Time: 61 minutes



I must admit I had no idea who Iliza Schlesinger was before catching her comedy special titled Confirmed Kills on Netflix. In that live performance, she discusses sex, dating and feminism, amongst other things.

Referring to herself as a Millenial, Schlesinger had many traits that annoy me about that generation. Ideas of self-importance, thinking they have all the answers, preaching and the victim mentality; it was all there. And, those various catchphrases, with hashtags popping up on the screen, were aggravating to no end. Catchphrases can be good, when they are actually catchy.

Schlesinger had some good points and a few funny jokes, but, overall, I prefer to keep the feminist preaching about how hard it is to be a woman out of the comedy I consume.
