User Reviews

Not his best

For some reason I just didn't like this film as much as most of Swanberg's output. Straighforward plot is just not what he does best, his strong suit has always been character study, and with this film his characters were all sort of one dimensional; even the main character, though more rounded, falls a bit flat. I just feel like the story did not fit well with Joe Swanberg's easy mumblecore style, and felt a little forced.
