Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Maggot-6 Bring a pillow, a receptacle for excrement so you needn't stir, sign your will, and take your nemesis on a dream date.Under acted, entirely improvised on the fly dialog. and mise-en-scene that leaves the camera unattended explores the boring spontaneous utterances of undergrads trying to make a really deep art film by saying a lot of "Like" and "So I go..." or "So I''m like..." . If they'd been black the most common utterance would've been repetitive "y'know what I'm saying ?"Oh... and it's poorly filmed ...B&W.Sound guys did workmanlike work. I hate this pretentious crap and was pleased I could turn it off. If at a cinema I would've assaulted a crippled ticket kiosk on my way out after 30'.

saltedlightly I don't know why people insists on labeling things (films, albums, etc.) like this. Can't we just like or not like a movie? I really enjoyed Mutual Appreciation. If I had to judge it for its allegiance to my generation - which is zero, by the way - then I probably would find it lacking in many respects. but that is not why i rented it.I loved the shooting, the editing & the acting. i thought the acting was great and natural with a touch of arrogance which went with its characters.great job! fun stuff.

andrewsix Bujalski's second feature is as unassuming as advertised, but leaves with the viewer an unique and moving feeling worth noting both for its penetrating depth and surface effects. Never in Mutual Appreciation's 110 minutes do we feel manipulated into a particular point of view or emotion, and Grunsky's camera never seems to try to lend meaning that isn't there. Instead Bujalski uses the medium in a wholly natural manner, one which is true to the time and experiences the film's characters move through, building the narrative to an emotional head brought about entirely by the passions and needs of his principal actors. It's a technique that can be difficult at first to appreciate specifically because it eschews virtuosity and the kind of razzle-dazzle that leaves structure, acting, and personal connection in the lurch, but as Mutual Appreciation plays out, it becomes clear that we are in the hands of a young master, one who can find profundity and practical importance in everyday interaction. Bujalski can see what people need at the most basic level and, with that, points toward bigger messages rather than telegraphing a sound-bite-ready understanding. Few American filmmakers working today (of any age) better understand the power of art to communicate a state of mind rather than a single, finite exclamation.

VolcomAvenger I saw this film yesterday at the Independent Film Festival of Boston and was pleasantly surprised. I just randomly picked it because i wanted to see something at the IFFB, and i loved the movie. Andrew Bujalski did a great job writing this conversion driven movie. The conversation felt so natural that I thought most of it was ad-libbed, but after the film he told us that while parts of the script were somewhat left open for ad-libbing, it was mostly written dialog. The main character, Alan (Justin Rice) has this wonderfully unique charisma, which really pulled me into the movie. Mr. Bujalski told us that much of that character was based on real life Justin Rice, and it came across well. I would definitely recommend checking out this movie if you can, especially for fans of Woody Allen, and it reminded me of Wes Anderson's work in some ways, probably just because of the characters.
