Reminds me of Linklater


I have yet to see this film, but from the trailer it looks very promising. It reminds me of Linklater's Before trilogy with its relaxed mood, how it's centered around two people walking and talking for the most part, and how it covers a brief but essential time in the characters' lives. The casting is wonderful and it seems both funny and involving. While the real-life aspects of the story with Barack and Michelle may add to the scope of the film, it looks to me like it would work even if it were two complete strangers. That's a good sign. The reviews out of Sundance are good as well. I'm excited to see this one as it seems to be the type of film I'd enjoy.

Reminds me of Linklater too. Everything except that it looks awful.
