About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like talky, wry quarter-life comedies about aimlessness and friendship, especially if you’ve seen The Squid and the Whale; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big plot turns, or instantly likable characters.
Pros: witty, quotable dialogue; relatable post-grad limbo; funny, bittersweet moments | Cons: slow, plot-light pacing; characters can feel smug; uneven, dragging start
