    A tender, gently paced coming-of-age movie whose strength is its young lead actor.

    24 Hours on Craigslist
    A series of vignettes that are edited in much the same way one might click from one random Craigslist posting to the next, the film is a fun and free-form celebration of the site's communal spirit and only-in-San Francisco ethos.
