Tim und Lee (2015)

Tim und Lee: Directed by Joe Swanberg. With Jake Johnson, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jude Swanberg, Alicia Van Couvering. The discovery of a bone and a gun send a husband and wife on separate adventures over the course of a weekend.

“Tim (Jake Johnson), his wife Lee (Rosemarie DeWitt) and son spend some time in her clientu0026#39;s hillside home. Tim finds a gun in the yard but the cops are uninterested. Lee and her son visit her parents while Tim is suppose to finish his work. Instead of work, his friends Phil (Mike Birbiglia), Ray (Sam Rockwell) and others come to hang out. The guys start digging up where Tim found the gun and they find a bone. They are joined by others to do drugs. Tim and Max (Brie Larson) find a shoe and they continue the dig the next day finding even more bones. Ben (Orlando Bloom) rescues Lee from a drunk at a bar.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector Joe Swanberg continues to make his improvisational indies. The idea of digging and discovery does infuse the movie with an obsessive quality. It works well to keep the intensity up. It does mean that Lee has the lesser half of the movie. In fact, the movie would work better pointing the focus at Tim. There are lots of ways the dig could go. The cops could actually come. The owner could come home early. However Swanberg seems more interested in the coupleu0026#39;s relationship.”
