review by Mike Haberfelner

This is a movie that hasn't one over-arching narrative, or even a theme
(unless you count life as such as a "theme"), instead it's
vignettes of several people from various stages of their lives, from
falling in love to being dumped to hiring a call boy to dealing with
loneliness to coming to grips with a parent coming out gay - and
everything in between ... Now some might not like this movie
for its lack of narrative stringency, but it's really also what makes the
film very fascinating, as it manages to surprise and suck one in
throughout with its slice of life vignettes that feel real exactly for
their randomness, coupled with the direction's fly-on-the-wall approach
that shows things in a warts-and-all way, while the cast plays things out
naturally, doesn't overplay the individual stories' comedic or dramatic
nuances - all of this makes this movie a very fascinating improvisation on
life itself.
