This admittedly uneven first feature stands out for the way it sneaks up on you. Read full review

It subtly counteracts the cliché that creative expression can save your life by making its protagonist a hipster Peter Pan whose creative expression is an excuse not to grow up. Read full review

What ultimately holds the film back, I believe, is its tendency to err too far on the side of that sweetness — it indulges too often in the hallmarks of the mediocre indie, the stuff a press release might call quirk, to level its more substantial points with real seriousness. Read full review

[A] slight, predictable debut. Read full review

Sheri Linden

An art-versus-commerce drama that consists of one beautifully aching performance surrounded by a whole lotta twee. Read full review

Mumbly dialogue, relentlessly jittery camerawork, a star who is also co-director and co-writer: Yes, it’s time for another movie that mistakes the claustrophobic world of young New York artsy types for something interesting. Read full review
