“Rey prods at the mundane indignities of adulthood with a keen eye and a gentle touch, creating a movie that is daffy but not dumb and a heroine who is complicated but not a lost cause.”~The Playlist

Aroview: Clever indie dramady exploring millennial ennui from writer-director Kris Rey, with the always likeable Gillian Jacobs playing a struggling 35-year old writer who takes an invitation to speak at her alma mater by a former professor (Jermaine Clement). Once there, her loose ends become apparent when she meets a group of college students and begins an awkward and at times hilarious reckoning with her past. A charming, if at times familiar story with considerable emotional resonance.
