Algebra in Love: Directed by Whit Stillman. With Greta Gerwig, Carrie MacLemore, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Lio Tipton. A trio of girls set out to change the male-dominated environment of the Seven Oaks college campus, and to rescue their fellow students from depression, grunge and low standards of every kind.

“I believe this movie successfully achieves itu0026#39;s goal of satirizing the young college-age intellectual (or asinine, as the case may be) mindset. The main characters ceaselessly spout all manner of opinions, generally in the guise of bettering the world and others, but their presentation is nothing short of self-congratulatory. Like many young adults, they are convinced their thoughts and actions are worthwhile, if not ground-breaking (international dance craze, anyone?).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is definitely not for everyone. You have to be willing to be carried along by it, and I expect many people give up on it due to the absurdity of the characters. What this movies does have to offer is a palpable affection for the human condition and some really excellent performances, particularly by Greta Gerwig in her lead role as Violet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you like this movie, check out u0026quot;Year of the Dog,u0026quot; which is similarly non-mainstream and somewhat edgier/better.”
