Acquainted

Like the four principal actors, Acquainted is nice to look at but not so stimulating.

Zavitz's situations and dialogue ring true, and he seems to understand the destructive power being "in love" (as opposed to just "love") can exert on people's better judgment.

Simple, smartly structured and filled with strong performances.

While the film is not perfect - jobs seem to have been drawn from the rom-com directory, and at almost no point does anyone discuss having kids - it's still a superb homegrown drama, clever and surprising.

Lacking in depth.
