With Justin Rice, Rachel Clift
(2005) 89min, 35mm
“Starring Justin Rice of the indie-rock band Bishop Allen as a new-to-Brooklyn indie rocker,Mutual Appreciation is no less uncomfortably precise in its view of passive-aggressive slacker mating rituals than Bujalski’s debut, Funny Ha Ha. No other filmmaker working today stares down quarter-life ambivalence with this degree of empathy-or brutal clarity” (Dennis Lim).
