As in Wes Anderson's Rushmore, there's something funny and charming about amateur artists investing a modest theatrical exercise with immodest creative ambitions.

Skwarna and Armstrong's quirky chemistry keeps the lights on in this overlong debut.

B

Fluorescents' showy camera moves and full-jazz-hands theater-kid dorkiness are a tonic against the excessively muted naturalism that has come to define indie style.

When the final set piece kicks in, everything that preceded it locks into place for a scene that’s everything you want from drama. And it has fewer than 250 views on Letterboxd. Don’t let its light go out.

B-

A playwright and an actress living together should complement each other, and these two women have remarkable chemistry throughout; in a movie with empathy for individuals who choose theater as a profession regardless of limited job openings.

This move had no point and was terrible, the critics who rated this movie so high must be high themselves.

So glad I could stream this after reading reviews over the winter. Loved seeing Toronto on the big screen and the acting was terrific. Great work.

Saw it yesterday. Fantastic film! Can't believe it's a debut. It hardly discussed in any of the reviews I've been seeing here, but the music/soundtrack of this film is perfect. Disappointed to not find more music from the composer (Miles Barstead) online. I want it on CD! Bravo!
