We here at the SM feel a bit like Hannah's first, oh and second and--though we know only inconclusively by the end of the film --third jilted lover. (We're looking at you, Joe Swanberg.) Yet for some reason, we're gluttons for conversation about a film that half the film community ga-ga's over with statements about won over hearts and the other half walks out on. Hence, in honor of the August 22 premiere of the film at both the IFC and on VOD, we offer a recap of every piece of information that we care to find about it:
