A movie I watched just because of the title. It is a misleading title. It, in fact, it a very, very, very quiet character film. Which isn't to say there isn't some good things about it, but unless you are multitasking it is going to be very, VERY slow.
The story? Ummm...I'm not sure there is one. There is this girl and then her boyfriend breaks up with her and there's this other guy who kind of likes her...that's it.
Was it good?
Look, with these sorts of plotless character films it comes down to a couple things: (1) is what the characters going through emotionally that gets to you and (2) is the acting/writing/directing good enough to make it feel real. Now, for me there just wasn't enough that the characters were going through. Yes, this girl gets dumped and I can relate to that (too well) and the other guy liking her I can relate to also, but it needed a lot more. That would be the first fifteen minutes of a normal movie and here it's the whole film. And, while the acting was good and the lead, Zoe Kazan, had a nice quality to her, the writing and directing didn't really add anything.
In the end it had a few nice moments, but overall was just too empty for me.
NOT RECOMMENDED
