    Absolutely loved this movie. It was smart, funny, and heartwarming: not a combination I find that much in movies these days. For sure this is one I'll watch again at least a few times.

    The chemistery between Elizabeth Olsen and Josh Radnor is just great

    An amusing, thoughtful romcom about love, literature and coming of age. Whatever age.

    Nostalgia for the groves of academe weighs heavily on Liberal Arts, which both exploits and undermines romanticized memories of campus life.

    It lacks filmmaking fireworks but Liberal Arts is a B+ for Josh Radnor: strong writing, great performances (Olsen is the real deal) and a touching, upbeat tale for the big-brained and big-hearted.
