What the hell is the voice of a generation?

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.
