I've been looking for this angle

Honestly, it's seems pretty unlikely but it's a delight! Very entertaining dialogue that keeps the audience engaged. Funny moments, romantic moments, cringey moments, and thought provoking moments. I think this film does a fantastic job at exploring unconventional relationships. One of the few that do it right.

Totally Original

Yes, this film is VERY Millennial, but my big takeaway is that I've never seen a comedy (rom-com?) quite like it before. The actor/filmmaker has a totally unique voice and vision. Hopefully there will be another project after this one, because I'm definitely interested to see another feature from him.

For the people who loved Before Sunrise, After Sunset and so on....

Theres not really a running story but they just talk and talk and talk the whole time and the talking topics are highly interesting and intellectual. If you dont have a problem with that then you will love it.

Wittily self-aware, thought-provoking exploration of relationships

I loved the writing in this movie. It's introspective and sharp, with back and forth repartee to totally engage you for its short 96 minute runtime. I have obsessive-compulsive thinking tendencies myself and I found the irreverent, self-referential dialogue and overall self-doubt both amusingly charming and relatable. The two main protagonists are given relatively equal screen time and sympathy and the audience finds themselves rooting for them as individuals and as a pair, even when their future is quite uncertain. The movie also poses tough and thoughtful questions about relationships that will keep you thinking about love and attraction and companionship long after the credits have rolled

Anecdotes
At one point, multiple distributors were interested in acquiring Straight Up, but none of them would accept the film in its intended aspect ratio of 4:3. James Sweeney was instructed to deliver in 16:9, excise 25 percent of the frame. He refused to give up his creative vision and eventually found a distributor who agreed.

Gaffes
Although not impossible, the opening conversation between the Todd and Rory (not a give-away because it is literally the opening of the movie) develops from Rory saying Todd might generally be mistaken for an employee based on his putting things (for instance organizing books) in order.

Todd replied that no, someone mistook him for a Staples employee, asking where the paperweights are, and he wasn't doing anything, just standing there.

Perhaps it is a dig at Staples employees who just stand there, or a play on the fact that he was not doing anything and was asked about paperweights. Yes, there are decorative desk things they sell as 'paperweights' at Staples, but nobody ever went to Staples to buy a paperweight. Inventing some scenario that didn't happen or joking is out of character.
