Nights and Weekends (2008)
Oct 11th
A realistic look into a modern relationship
Rated: n/a (Contains nudity and strong language) | Review date: 11-Oct-2009
Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig’s Nights and Weekends follows a long distance relationship between two twenty-somethings over the period of roughly a year. The film goes back and forth between Chicago and New York, but only a few scenes take place outside of an apartment. The couple, played by co-directors/writers Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig, try to make the best out of the little time they have together. However, they still always dread saying goodbye each time.
The film starts off fairly strong, but slowly More >
Good Dick (2008)
Aug 28th
Not your typical romantic comedy. It’s shot like the viewer is actually observing the characters first hand. The dialog was real, the story original, and just completely strange situations (a good thing). No cliches here, just two socially awkward characters (with whom we never get their names) with rough pasts that we assume account for their behaviors. One of the best independent films I’ve seen. Also recommended: In Search of a Midnight Kiss.
Rating: 6 out of 7
