Best American film I've seen so far this year. Currently playing in Chicago, Seattle, and Vancouver; running elsewhere soon.

The trailer isn't at all cut in the rhythm the movie is, so don't worry if you don't like it.

no worries, I will figure out some way of catching this

i didn't love the trailer for this, but it also looks like the kind of thing a trailer might not do justice to

the trailer at least conveys that something different and possibly interesting is going on in the film

Fingers crossed it'll make it to NZ - film festival season's nearly upon us.

Ah, cheers - it didn't make it to any of the NZ film festivals.

I enjoyed this, though there were moments grating enough that I lost hope. I wanted to watch "Love & Basketball II" but instead I got "Det perfekte menneske", which is fine.

Did Nance do any the visuals or did Jay-Z just buy him an animation budget?

For what it's worth, you can get it as a disc from Netflix, or rent it here:
