    It took me a while to get into it but once it grabs you, it really doesn't let you go.

    Maybe my problem with the movie is that I thought it was going to be deeper. A really raw study of artistic couples, with a mumbly touch à la Joe Swanberg. But it wasn't. It was ...( read more)great, it just wasn't that great.

    I liked the performances, though. With her little screentime and change of acting style from what we're used to see her in, Jane Adams steals most of the show. Except from Justin Rice who is better than any of us could've expected from The guy from Bishop Allen. Every time he's on the screen it's hypnotizing. One of the cutest characters you'll find nowadays. Who doesn't want a husband like him?! His rendition of The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe is one of the best parts of the movie, only exceeded by the music sessions with his bandmate, wisely cut into other scenes. Actually, that's something I really enjoyed: the editing job by Joe Swanberg himself. The most genius moments of this little, cute film come from scenes put together in a big, sometimes funny editing ballet.

    A nice addition to the Swanberg filmography. Can't wait for Silver bullets.
