Indie aficionado here. But this one is well below par. Some effort is seen, don't get me wrong. Just not impressive enough. A little mumble-core-y, a little slow. Cinematography is decent and got some style actually (praises to cameraman). In short - I was expecting something along the lines of poor man's Computer Chess (absolute stunner) but it's nowhere near even. 4/10 for some resemblance of effort. Just kept feeling that.. it accomplishes ..nothing? But perhaps that was the point (and there's nothing wrong with that too).

Very indie, just not very good

Make a bad choice, and you can be stuck with it for a long time.
If you're into indie movies, this is almost as indie as it gets. It seems to be a series of character studies - some of the characters overlap and I have a suspicion they maybe all live in the same block. To some degree they're all miserable, trapped in their circumstances and lacking the wit to escape. Only the youngest couple seem to retain any joy in their lives, and in them we can see the upcoming junction, where they can be like the others or break free. It's quite watchable. All the characters have texture and the performances are worthy of some praise. If you get the chance, give it a shot.
