Tamar Glezerman’s “long short” rom-com is the perfect blend of laughs and heart. It takes a ridiculous premise (it was literally inspired by a viral story of a woman who wouldn’t leave a KFC after getting dumped) and supplants it with emotions and ideas that are inherently relatable to anybody who has ever suffered a broken heart. The film’s broadly comedic moments (it takes place in a fictional restaurant delightfully named “Frybaby’s”) are balanced out by finely-crafted writing. A scene with a cop in the latter half of the film may just be my favorite dialogue exchange from any short in 2017. Were there more outright “funny” films that I screened this year? Maybe. But, no comedy got me to laugh while also getting me so verklempt. – Ivan Kander
