## Resource

In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt explore Matt and Mara , a quiet yet captivating Canadian indie film about old flames, life choices, and the subtle tension of wanting more. The film follows Mara, a poetry professor, as the unexpected return of her former friend Matt unsettles her carefully constructed life. They discuss the film’s understated performances, its painfully awkward yet deeply human moments, and the existential dread of poetry classes. Was this a thoughtful character study or just a meandering story about nothing? Listen to the podcast to find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
