I liked this movie's realism; it was shot in documentary style so it seemed almost as if the dialog were being improvised. The acting was excellent too. However, several of the characters were not very likable, which is a major problem in a film. Oddly, while the dialog was very real, many of the situations were not. Lily Taylor's character is foul-mouthed and obnoxious, and dresses like a boy even though she is past her teens. It is inconceivable that anyone would want to sleep with her, yet she seems to have no trouble finding sex partners. Emma is nasty to her boyfriend, who tries to be decent to her, and he's cute too. What on earth would he see in her? It sure can't be her looks. It simply doesn't add up.
