Actors: Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson
Director: Joe Swanberg
I've not seen a Joe Swanberg film before - I do know they have a reputation for being improvisational and talky and mumblecore-y and whatever words you want to throw on it. The film definitely meanders, but sometimes a film needs to meander in order to hit the notes it's going for. Relationships - romantic or otherwise - are generally unspoken agreements, and this film explores what happens when people try to say as little about those relationships as possible. I suspect the main criticism of this film is that none of the characters are likable, but I also think that for the film to exist in the space that it does, they can't be likable.
