Marnie:
Hey, if you could move anywhere, if you were moving out of here, just anywhere in the country, or anywhere I guess, where would you move?
Alex:
I dunno. I guess a better question is: if you were thirteen feet tall, would you rather be that or have eyes on the stalks on top of your head?

It is the torment of the middle class sitcom thought commentary, which is endless. They are tortured by their own dystopian suburban thought loops. The leading actress is sweet how low key she is. It brings a nice, evocative lowfi feel. The unique textures, that air of the schizoid, the casting and realism. From the scattershot it emerges into this awkward creep courting her, and it's painful. She wants the ones who don't want her. He should be with no one. Mumblecore both wore its welcome and is welcome in the hyper plastic singularity today. I like a lot of the Bujalski films. I may even like this one.
