This movie freaking rules

This movie does rule. I'm very lucky to have found it in the section of VHS' being sold at a video store...it's one of my top ten movies. I mean it did a total 180 by the end...in the beginning I was laughing at the awkwardness and the sarcasm and little 'real life' quirks that come with awkward interactions...but by the end I was speechless and depressed. Haha. I was watching it with someone and we both sat there literally silent and unable to say anything for a while after it ended. Such a powerful downer, probably so powerful because it rubs your face into the bleak reality of a lot of real life interactions... Totally awesome. Packed a very powerful punch and...two lonely people struggling to make a connection and ending up on different pages and failing miserably...literally...damn! ...you know, I can relate to it unfortunately :P Ironically some of the lines at the end are verbatim something that happened to me in real life recently, years after I've seen it for the first time. That movie should have been a warning!

Perfection from beginning to end. Every time I hear "Voices Carry" I see the opening shot of Karen Sillas standing in that window in her orange dress, backlit by violet. Beautiful.

To me this was a perfect indie film-- intense character study, haunting dialogue, gorgeous yet simple cinematography, and a clean, dense depiction of everything a single moment in time can be.

"dry" Whaaa?

"pretentious" Whaaa? The dialogue between the two principles had to be the most refreshingly honest and authentic sounding I have seen in a while.Two entry level white collar drones trying to fake their way through an awkward date, that pretentious? Unless they don't realize Noonan was acting.

"pointless"-- this film was clearly focused. I suspect the critics just didn't like what it was focused on. Not romantic enough to be a proper rom-com, and no crashing things. Whatever.
