8 ...an ebullient sliver of a movie...

8 It is a small, plain movie, shot in 16 millimeter in dull locations around Boston; but also, like its passive, quizzical heroine, it is unexpectedly seductive, and even, in its own stubborn, hesitant way, beautiful.

8 ...humorous and stealthily affecting.

8 This isn't improvisation, but rather an adroitly achieved randomness -- the perfect syntax for a generation-defining work about a generation marked by its very lack of definition.

"Ultra-indie" is an understatement. How does a movie like this even get a theatrical release, and why do esteemed critics like A.O. Scott actually like it? Follow the formula for this piece of junk: get a used 16mm camera, gather all your inarticulate friends, and try telling a story without a narrative structure, lacking any interest whatsoever. Tedious and boring and plain awful.
