“Excellent film. I saw it twice on the festival circuit and it made me laugh. Itu0026#39;s beautifully made and touches upon things that nobody else bothers to deal with. Elodie Bouchez is phenomenal in it. A totally new perspective thatu0026#39;s well done. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough its milieu is privileged itu0026#39;s remarkably self-aware and hilarious in its exploration of class divisions and the various ethnicities in NYC. Itu0026#39;s more than just the usual indie story of trying to find their way, much more assured, witty and political. An interesting feminist perspective, great shot structure and a sweet love story to boot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGo see this film!”
