Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Danna Hinton I honestly tried my hardest to enjoy this film, but I just didn't. I consider myself a fairly broad film watcher but this one was tough to get through. The plot was slow to unfold, the humor was dry, and "the pipe sex scene" was completely unnecessary.As a person in their twenties who is often categorized as a millennial, I vividly remember my days in 2009 when the after college disillusionment was starting to set in. The lead female character I found hard to identify with, and I doubt many of my peers find themselves in a pipe with a stranger having sex just because they are stuck in a rut and life after college has left them disillusioned. I will refrain from ever saying that I hate a piece of art because it is art and it will speak to someone in some unique way. I'm simply saying this film just didn't work for me.

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater Okay, it's really charming that this girl and her sister and mom look so natural on the screen, blah blah blah, that's out of the way.Entitled privileged brat? So what? If you watch any old Woody Allen movie you see exactly the same thing: people in their early twenties falling into high brow writing careers and legal partnerships and bitching all the way, that's the genre. Lena manages to duplicate, or emulate, a Woody Allen movie complete with all the vulnerability, self-reflection and humor. She even drops one-liners, highly quotable ones: "I'm really tired. I took three klonopin and woke up next to a spoon full of peanut butter." And like a Woody Allen movie, there is no plot and the hero doesn't change or learn. But you'll stay interested. I would have given it an "8" but her Obama commercial was heinous. As a netflix movie, it's a strong 7.

curtis martin First, let me say that, technically, this was a very well-made film. It is amazing to me that a first time filmmaker could create something this professional with only $50k. It looked and sounded like a real movie, and the acting ranged from OK (as in the lead actress/director/writer) to excellent (Jemima Kirke as the wacky friend). An excellent effort for a first timer.So, with that caveat out of the way, let me say this: I just don't like films about spoiled, whiny, wealthy white kids who can't figure out what to do after college. It's a world I (a) don't "get" and (b) don't care to "get." I mean, maybe the pointlessness of that kind of life was the point of the film—but I can't honestly say for sure because the movie seems to be as listless as its main character. There are a few funny moments (all from Ms. Kirke), but there's also an awful lot of staring into space.

Brian Kirk (brianskirk) Certainly this film will not be everyone's cup of tea. But I'm a sucker for movies that are light on plot and heavy on letting us just hang out with some interesting characters for awhile. The dialogue here is so natural I thought perhaps they were simply ad libbing. The chemistry between the mother and daughters is totally real (makes sense -- they are a real family), and the film perfectly captures the that feeling of lacking any direction following graduation from college. It's true that nothing much happens in the film -- it's more about the nature of relationships: renewing old ones, letting friends go, trying out new lovers, choosing the wrong people -- all while trying to figure out what it means to be an adult.
