mutual appreciation

One of the benefits of moving has been the hyper-availability of arts events. Thursday I went to to see the new independent film Mutual Appreciation. The film tells the story of an aspiring musician who moves to New York to realize his dream of becoming an indie pop-rock star. Though the film does not possess an underlying theme and characters are not fully developed, Mutual Appreciation has a knack for irrevant, bullshit dialogue that parallels real life. Plus the lead character's songs are actually pretty good. Though no masterpiece, Mutual Appreciation is a fun and funny art flick well worth my student ticket.
