1) The establishing shot for me in this movie was a shot where you saw tiny furniture and a girl standing in the middle of them, her heel larger than all the furniture. The shot was taken in her house, where most of the film took place. It helped to back up the choice of the title for this movie, otherwise I don't know what the title had to do with the movie. The movie was very slow developing with a lot of dry humor. It was easy to tell this because the establishing shot did not come until 30 minutes into the movie.
2) I didn't see many interesting camera angels. To me the film looked like it was operating on a very low budget so there were not that many opportunities for a lot of camera angels. There was one scene where they were in lead pipe (having sex?) and the camera angel was looking through the pipe at them. I would have had the camera just placed on the outside of the pipe to where you just saw the pipe and heard their voices.
3) There was no story line in this film. It was possible the worst movie I have ever witnessed. The story line was dumb, had no meaning, and the movie felt like it was dragging the entire length of the film. The story line (from what I got) was a fresh out of college grad looking for a job in film making, finds out that life is very hard. She realized that she had to grow up a little and stop relying of her mom. She is a big girl now and needs to take a little responsibility for her actions. The scene that made me feel most uncomfortable was when she had sex in a lead pipe in the middle of the street with a chef from the restaurant she was currently working at. The chef had a girl friend and was looking for a "good time". I would not recommend this movie to anyone!
4) Main Characters in the film:
Aura: Main character that just returned home from college. She gets little attention from her family when she moves back in. Just recently broke up with her boyfriend, and finds out that life is very hard! She is the narrator of the film.
Nadine: Aura's sister, she makes it very hard for Aura, showing her no attention and making fun of her most of the film. Throughout the film Nadine and Aura grow closer.
Charlotte: Aura's long lost best friend from when they were little. She is a bad influence on Aura from wardrobe to making bad choices.(using drugs). My vote for best character in the film. She did a wonderful job of filling her character position of dumb and witty at the same time.
Keith: Aura's co-worker (chef) whom she has desperate sex with in a metal pipe.
5) The soundtrack of this film was dull. There were not that many times that background music was used; which to me took away from the film. There should have been a lot more background music in this film that would have given it a little more life.
6) The genre of this film is DULL comedy. I think Lane Dunham was going for comedy when she wrote this film, but miserably failed. You have to have the most dry sense of humor to get any type of laugh out of this movie.
7) I believe the message of this film was a good one, through disguised by horrible acting and dry humor. It showed me how hard it is for college graduates to "find" themselves after wrapping up their college careers. No job, not much help from mom, its time to grow up and start making a career for yourself. Get out find a job, maybe its what you want to do, maybe not, but at least find some steady income. Get your life on track; stop making stupid college life decisions and take some responsibility for your actions. You can not be vulnerable when graduating college. There are many things you have to overcome and there will not be much sympathy for you. Overall this was a horrible film that I will never see again .
