Most likeable film that for some reason had never come to my attention before. Nothing particularly exciting or eventful happens and yet the various comings and goings of these New York youngsters resonates. There is nothing strikingly beautiful or exceptional but we believe in all the characters (maybe less so the two gallery owners in the neck braces!) and feel for them as some interactions go less well than others. Certainly seems to capture a most authentic feel and this is partly because the clothing worn has not been selected from racy boutiques but actors' own wardrobes and the script is firmly based in the everyday. A light humour arises from the odd exchange and overall this is a most enjoyable 90 minutes.
