About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like quirky, bittersweet city-life stories like Mistress America or While We’re Young; Not for you if you need a strong plot or fast momentum.
Pros: charming lead performance; funny-sad tone; grounded city moments | Cons: very loose story; talk-heavy pacing; self-absorbed characters
