This movie is interesting yet not compelling. This movie is actually two films in one. The first half of the movie is a coming of age (College age that is) dark drama/comedy that is filled with desperate sadistic characters. The second half of the movie is a more settle redemption of life, ten years later in the lifes of the characters, that resembles a Woody Allen film. The transition did not work. The first half was a good film and the second half was a good film but putting the halfs together did not make a delightful whole. Somewhat disturbing actually. Austin Chick does have much potential and a great eye for cinema art. I will definetly be looking for more of his work to come. Next time maybe he will make two compelling films instead of two interesting films within one movie.
