Drinking Buddies (2013) (2013)

“Honestly, I picked this movie because of the cast choice and the plot seemed interesting. But once I started watching, all kinds of memories came up -- the friendship between Kate and Luke reminds me of a friendship I shared with a guy friend years ago (we no longer talk now, which is sad) but it was nice to see that flow so nicely in this movie. The cast was fantastic and the movie isn't too slow paced. I recommend.” read more

" Anna Kendrick and Ron Livingston"

Until the Very Last Line

“The only way I can describe this movie is by saying that it's like one of those Dan Chaon stories from "Stay Awake" where, until the very last line, you have no idea what the story is about. 

In this case, maybe by the end of the credits.... 

It's a very subtle film. I liked it because I have this tendency of being able to figure out what a movie is about before it starts, but this one really demanded a lot of patience, not just in some single plot line that you didn't expect, but really in the totality of the the whole thing you didn't know what it was about until maybe after it was over. ” read more

“Anna Kendrick means for me this is a must watch. Jake Johnson is definitely one of my faves now due to New Girl. Everybody else is alright. Joe Swanbe”

“Anna Kendrick means for me this is a must watch. Jake Johnson is definitely one of my faves now due to New Girl. Everybody else is alright. Joe Swanberg has been in a lot of movies I've seen. As a director I have only seen his V/H/S segment. Hmm well all the characters are likable so far. It seems one couple really loves each other while the other seems a bit distant. It really feels like a slice of life sort of film. Not much is really happening while at the same time it feels a good amount of things are happening. I mean I wondered when that would happen. The chemistry between all of them is so strong. I wonder how this will all turn out. How can you turn that down? Of course though it would have been better if Anna Kendrick did it. I figured that was about to happen. These characters ha” read more
