I didn't think it sucked. It was, on the other hand, extremely surreal . . .
For one thing, time and place were uncertain, seemingly on purpose . . . while mostly it felt as if it was an exaggerated stereotype of the 1970s, there seemed to be some 1980s thrown in . . . and though the film was shot in the U.K., there were a mix of English, Scottish, and American actors, and no one from any three of those places made any efforts whatsoever to hide their respective accents, again seemingly on purpose . . . and while much of the set design had a British feel, there were some American elements as well. It was as if we the audience were meant to believe that this was some strange combination of the U.S. and the U.K. smashed together.
The overall tone of the movie was weird and beyond absurd; at one point in the movie, two of the characters go to the house of one of their mothers, and the "mother" is clearly a man-- complete with mustache --and all of this is completely overlooked.
It may seem a strange comparison, but the uncertain time and place reminded me in some respects of the 2014 horror film "It Follows".
I admire Aubrey Plaza for taking on such strange roles; to me, she could one day join the league of such odd female actors as Jennifer Connelly, Kate Winslet, Florence Pugh, and the late Natasha Richardson.
On the TMDB scale, I'd rate "An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn" a 3 out of 5, maayybe a 3.5 out of 5.
