    Rare that a movie makes you feel more human

    This movie made me laugh, has great, memorable characters and a terrific Michael Cera performance. What more do you want? For the right person, the movie is as simply satisfying as a Sunday morning.

    Has Its Moments of Quirky Humor But Film Loses Steam as it Progresses

    The movie follows an ensemble cast of characters as they face various situations in their lives, all in one day in New York City. The humor here can be subtle and quirky at times, but the film itself loses steam, in my opinion, as it progresses and ends up not really going anywhere.

    There were moments when I felt this indie had a Woody Allen feel to it, but those moments were too few and far between. All in all, some sparks of cleverness but they just weren't sustained.

    actors did well, but...

    A look at a day in the life of a bunch of new yorkers, with their own tasks to complete. And because it's new york, everyone is a bit quirky. Some familiar faces...michael cera was in every film, for a while. He and the writer had made "entertainment" together in 2015. Tavi gevinson was on gossip girl. Abbi jacobson was the mind behind "broad city"; i didn't see it, but it was nominated for some emmies. In one story, the cops are investigating a murder, so phil hires claire to help dig into a murder, for his paper. But he's a terrible reporter. A couple of the stories just weren't that interesting. I kept waiting for the various stories to intersect. But they never do. Some negatives... wendy talks in long, run-on sentences, which gets annoying fast. When the cops go to arrest someone, they don't identify themselves as cops, they don't say what they want, and no-one shows a badge. The script needed work; maybe the writer should have concentrated on one of the stories, and really developed it. This grouping of short, unrelated tales doesn't really go anywhere. Written and directed by dustin defa. It's such a random group of ideas that didn't catch my interest.

    bad

    This is the most perplexing crap I've ever seen. Is it sincere mumblecore or is all the awkwardness due to a poor writing/subpar acting? Definitely has good moments, definitely has terrible moments. I don't know

    Aquired Taste

    I can definitely see people being bored with this movie. I've seen a lot of movies like it that fail miserably and are relentlessly boring. This film is different. I liked ALL of the characters. They all carried a distinct persona despite limited screen-time and are very relatable. Each person is layered and genuine, none of whom are wholly good or bad. The humor is subtle yet gratifying and conflicts are handled maturely.

    In a sense this movie connects all the disparate parts of the self: the quiet and anxious Abbi, the desperate showoff in Cera, the gloomy brooder in Ray, the arrogant insecure teen in Wendy, the insecure lovestruck teen in Melanie, and the passionate local "hero." Nothing feels forced or contrived. I can definitely see myself watching this many times in the future. I honestly didn't mind the lack of action and drama because I just wanted to sit with each character.

    I can assure you I'm not a paid shill either. This movie isn't for everyone, but if you give it a chance I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
