rashida is a goddess, no doubt
but even her gorgeous mug could not save this pretentious mess. i mean, THE PAINT TOOK SO LONG TO DRY AND I GOT TIRED FROM WATCHING IT
how in the world did this get made? i am serious. HOW?
and funded, and sold to TMC.... etc etc
it's just a slow slow movie about nothing much at all.
a sad waste of rashida jones, if you ask me

I agree that this was a waste of Rashida. This film epitomized why I have become totally disillusioned with Indie film -- in the early days people with real talent were making Indies (Whit Stillman, Wes Anderson, etc) but now the genre has been overrun by talentless film school hacks who can't write interesting screenplays or direct without constant use of shaky-cam and low lighting to disguise poor basic skills and to make scenes more "mysterious" and so on.
I honestly wish that Rashida would land better roles -- she has this genuine sweetness and always seems like the coolest chick in the room in addition to her natural beauty. She has a great talent for comedy -- I don't think that drama is really her thing. But this film was a mess so who knows.

very. well. put.
wise words, friend.
i especially corroborate now the genre has been overrun by talentless film school hacks who can't write interesting screenplays or direct without constant use of shaky-cam and low lighting to disguise poor basic skills and to make scenes more "mysterious" and so on.
you nailed it. these film grad wannabes try all the WRONG things for the wrong reasons. story should come first, always.
