First Look Review - "Or Something"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-08-28

Kareem Rahma is best known for his viral web series 'Subway Takes', in which he interviews a mix of everyday New Yorkers and celebrities while riding the city's subway network. As co-writer and one of the two leads of director Jeffrey Scotti Schroeder's Or Something, Rahma brings the same sort of laidback energy to this work of fiction that made his web series so popular. The written dialogue is at times a little stilted, with the the two leads often talking at rather than with each other, but Rahma is an undeniably engaging screen presence, as is his co-writer and co-star Mary Neely.

"She's Like the Wind"

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
