100Funny, sad, and skeptical in about equal measures, it announces writer-director Dylan Kidd as a filmmaker with a bright future.
-
100It is Scott's work as the savagely articulate Roger, a tireless would-be seducer, bottomlessly self-confident and oblivious to rejection, that is the film's glistening and provocative centerpiece.
-
90One of the juiciest male characters to pop up in an independent film this year.
-
90Kidd, a first-time writer and director, has created a sophisticated but intriguingly toxic comedy of manners.
-
90Takes both its characters and the audience to the depths, but it's a journey Kidd redeems with wit and fluency and, ultimately, a deeply persistent humanism.
-
88Revives the art of smart, scathing movie conversation as it skewers Manhattan's singles scene while providing a goodly number of laughs. Like its subject, the movie may have its prickly moments, but it's awfully fun to watch.
-
88Sly, sophisticated and surprising.
-
88Mines laughs from the ways in which its antihero's reductive philosophy consistently goes kerflooey in his face, but there's a weary sadness to it as well.
-
88Experiencing this film is like hurtling down a verbal slalom.
-
83A little too programmed in its despair, but it coasts along on the jagged music of the modern lothario's song.
-
83Scott owns the film from scene one.
