I was amped going into this. Jersey girl. Punk rock. This just feels like the movie I would have made in college. It’s so interesting to see a movie doing things that films like SLACKER, IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS, and the mumblecore movement would eventually get into doing. Wren really isn’t a good person and it’s hard for me to follow her after she continually makes a complete ass out of herself. She comes off crazy and not in touch with reality. She’s so desperate in everything she does. I guess this is kind of the point as she continually stoops lower and lower until she can’t fall apart any more. I also hurts because you see her fawning all over Eric and you know he doesn’t give a shit about her. This film also feels like a time capsule for how shitty New York City was in the early ‘80s.
