    • Trivia
      Emily Mortimer said being totally nude in this film helped her overcome her chronic feelings of embarrassment. She said the scene forever transformed her. "A lot of actors, and especially people who went to drama school, always talked about 'being in the moment'," she explains, "and I was always like, 'Oh my god, I don't think I've ever been in the moment! What does that mean? I've never been to drama school, I'm a fraud!' And then (writer/director Nicole Holofcenter) wrote this scene, and I was madly in the moment. There was never less of a gap between me and the character I was playing. I was as vulnerable, as brave, as stupid, as naked, as everything. It was an incredible feeling and I felt like, 'Oh, this is proper, and I'd like to keep doing this.'"

    Real, but not interesting
    Stanley Kubrick's line, to me, sums my impression of this movie up completely.

    It was real, but it wasn't interesting.

    In all fairness, all of the lead actresses in the movie engaged me at one point or another, at least briefly. But the integral thing about their characters was that they were shallow, and remained shallow at the end.

    Which is real, there are certainly people in the world who are shallow and remain shallow.

    But it isn't especially interesting.
