Saw this at Fantasia here in Mtl, opens in limited release this Friday. Very curious to see how the critical reception plays out - personally I thought it was way more engaging than any other American indie this year, especially in comparison to the surprisingly lame Another Earth. The most accurate synopsis I can come up with: All the Real Girls with explosions.

All the Real Girls with explosions^too good to be true
its kinda been on my radar for awhile since Sundance or SXSW or wherever it premiered. Psyched!

The Slant rave published today is otm. Also, I interviewed the director/writer/star/gaffer etc. last week over the phone and he was adorably awkward, kinda refreshing given all the PR-ready filmmakers I've spoken with recently.

meanwhile the AV Club tore into this today, even dropping a Tommy Wiseau reference.

I hope it's an All the Real Girls that works.

meanwhile Glenn Kenny is convinced it's all-out misogyny incarnate:

If In the Bedroom was Death Wish for the NPR crowd, this is the same for Pitchfork boys (with extra woman-hating). Loathsome.

also, G Kenny otm here:
"the characters here are a couple of the biggest closet cases in the History of Western Culture"
I'd even give this Glodell guy a good hatefuck.
