The Millennial Malaise in Matt Barats' "Anchors Aweigh" Matt Barats' latest film, "Anchors Aweigh," is a semi autobiographical mockumentary about a struggling comedian in his late thirties.
On its surface, it's a lighthearted exploration of millennial ennui, but beneath the humor lies a scathing critique of the generation's arrested development.
The film's protagonist is stuck in a dead end relationship with a much younger woman who seems to be using him for her own purposes.
