It's never enough to establish any sensitivity or social pertinence beyond the trifling tiffs which are playing out on screen.

Joe Swanberg's film wears out its welcome about halfway through its 83 minutes.

Chop off a star if you're not up for highly experimental cinema.

When it works, it works like a charm.
