The presence of Mark Duplass indicates that this might be a mumblecore movie. Or if not, one of the recent films that have a foot in mumblecore (they're loose and casual in style and pace) but doesn't suffer from low production values. In fact, it is one of the latter.
The story has something oblique to do with love and companionship, and self-delusion. The performances make it work. Aubrey Plaza is especially good as a smart, quiet, semi-vulnerable young woman coming of age. Mark Duplass and Jake Johnson are each very good in this also. All in all it's a pretty good way to spend 85 minutes.
