Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench
I really wanted to love this film. It's beautifully shot in black and white, and the musical numbers shine. It's that rare mumblecore that I actually haven't cringed to get through, but as with most of them, there is really no story/plot surrounding this wannabe Demy. The characters go absolutely nowhere except to a different city. I did somewhat like it, and it does have its charms, but it never completely gelled for me. That being said this gets my highest rating of any mumblecore yet.....C+
