      Audience Member Mumblecore nonsense doesn't make much sense, and is boring to boot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member There moments here that are reminiscent of Goddard and other moments that feel totally unique. At its core, this film is a study of an actor trying to define her own identity both as an artist and in a relationship. A very intimate movie far less concerned with plot than with the feelings of the two lead characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member At times interesting, but most of the time simply dull. This is not one of the stronger moments in the "mumblecore" genre. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member It's pretty bad when a 72-minute movie seems way too long. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A moving look at how space can play an important part in a relationship. Moving, sweet, funny, and heartbreaking. The movie will draw you in if you let it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty solid mumblecore offering, with characteristic understatement, sexual tension-titillation, and detached dialogue. the music's good too. ;-) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Manohla Dargis New York Times Alexander the Last, a 72-minute series of loosely connected scenes, follows an actress's lurching conversations and tentative gestures in life and the theater. Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2009 Full Review Adam Keleman Slant Magazine Part of that restless, productive team of mumblecore savants, Swanberg allows his actors to do what they do best: act. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 12, 2009 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety At a slight 72 minutes, the DIY director's latest bout of psychosexual titillation (which is being made available on-demand in conjunction with its SXSW fest premiere) feels undercooked. Mar 11, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a pretentious mess... Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 23, 2010 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) With its self-conscious references to the artistic process and to art itself (in a scene that wouldn't be out of place in a Godard project, a character reads Poe's 'The Bells,' almost in its entirety), this is Swanberg's most moving and impressive film... Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 6, 2009 Full Review Leo Goldsmith Not Coming to a Theater Near You Clearly a transitional film for Swanberg, with a more assertive authorial voice on the one hand and more tentative (and unspontaneous) work with professional actors on the other.
