Absolutely Brilliant!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

you have to watch this film through the eyes of a woman... it is the plight of an average looking woman in a world full of attractive people... she is constantly overlooked, used, and abused because both men and women do not find worth in her because of her average looks... in addition, she is attracted to attractive people both men and woman because of their attractiveness... this basic concept, i believe is overlooked in most of my observations in the reviews that have been posted about this film... the film is beautifully filmed with great set design... the dialogue is realistic... the set design is believable... it is painful to watch because it teaches us what our modern society values in men and women...

By far the worst movie I've seen this year (so far). It felt like someone is trying to make an indie hipster film because making indie hipster films are in.The acting was so so so bad. When the sisters were arguing - I thought they would break into laughter. I cared nothing for any character. They were all self-involved rude (not in a witty or interesting way either) bourgeois white people living somewhere in NYC where there you don't see two black people even in the street shots. She's home from college with no direction. Boo hoo.

First, let me say that, technically, this was a very well-made film. It is amazing to me that a first time filmmaker could create something this professional with only $50k. It looked and sounded like a real movie, and the acting ranged from OK (as in the lead actress/director/writer) to excellent (Jemima Kirke as the wacky friend). An excellent effort for a first timer.So, with that caveat out of the way, let me say this: I just don't like films about spoiled, whiny, wealthy white kids who can't figure out what to do after college. It's a world I (a) don't "get" and (b) don't care to "get." I mean, maybe the pointlessness of that kind of life was the point of the film—but I can't honestly say for sure because the movie seems to be as listless as its main character. There are a few funny moments (all from Ms. Kirke), but there's also an awful lot of staring into space.

Certainly this film will not be everyone's cup of tea. But I'm a sucker for movies that are light on plot and heavy on letting us just hang out with some interesting characters for awhile. The dialogue here is so natural I thought perhaps they were simply ad libbing. The chemistry between the mother and daughters is totally real (makes sense -- they are a real family), and the film perfectly captures the that feeling of lacking any direction following graduation from college. It's true that nothing much happens in the film -- it's more about the nature of relationships: renewing old ones, letting friends go, trying out new lovers, choosing the wrong people -- all while trying to figure out what it means to be an adult.
