A cliche independent When the programmer announced this is first director feature but that was irrelevant, because it was most heart warming film she watched recently, it seted a very wrong expectation.
As the first feature, it wasn't too bad, but it was not a good moive. So many great cast, amazing actors are all wasted, th fatal mistake is the leading character is pretentious and chliche in every way: the dialogue is tedious, being deep for the sake of deep? appears to be icy but so sensitive and knid inside? Being angry and emotional in a very obviously way? Has a best friend to expose his vulnerability who has zero chemistry with him? Has a insightful, unique, bold girl to challenge him? It is too much self-indulgence, hard to finish, not to mention the bad music taste.
