pinoyhapa I was fortunately able to see this film free with my Amazon Prime membership. Though I like Hamish Linklater, I would not have or am grateful that I never saw this film in a theater. Maybe it is an inspired indie film piece. Maybe it is artistic film festival fare. All I felt was that I could not keep watching this film and turned it off after less than a half hour but returned to watch it in parts until the end. I was actually looking for an escapist SF film that would be fantasy and uplifting. Not since "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" had a film so depressed me. Maybe I don't understand indie flicks or comedies that are really something else but funny. Here is a wacky urban 30-something couple existing in their world and making a mess of it. They decide to adopt a cat but can not handle the responsibility so they suddenly decide to do what they feel -- which is selfish, pointless and ultimately irresponsible. The only SF factor was the ability to stop time and the universe suddenly is in a mannequin challenge. The depressing part is their lack of genuine feeling and mutual love for each other and obviously for the cat. It is a modern world where they are more into their laptops more than each other. Today, the same may be said of smartphones where people ignore each other except through typing which is what I am doing now. More depressing. What does the real future hold in store for human interaction? The future, yeah, right.

laursene Some fine moments, but overall doesn't hang together. However, the t-shirt dance (which I take it started out as part of a performance piece) conjured the sort of eeriness David Lynch achieved in some of his early films (before they turned all forced and self-conscious). The strangeness and physicality of it transcended the rest of the movie and, perhaps unfortunately, showed up what it was lacking. But it's one of the best film presentations (lighting, music, camera) of a "live" performance I've seen. Also reminded me a bit of the wonderful scene in "Chuck and Buck" in which Buck seduces his old friend in a bar. Are we nothing but human? Are we not also something else?

SnoopyStyle Sophie (Miranda July) teaches ballet to kids and Jason (Hamish Linklater) does customer service from home. They plan to adopt stray cat Paw Paw after the cat recovers at the clinic for a month. Paw Paw (Miranda July) needs special attention and they are not sure about their future together. They quit their jobs to enjoy the next month but Jason takes another job right away. Sophie tries to put a dance out on Youtube.This is a movie too in love with its quirkiness. Both actors talk in a low energy voice. There is almost no energy coming from the screen. Music is limited. The style is flat. I don't find these characters compelling. They are a drain on me and I have nothing to give them.

maxphotog I gave this film a 7 because of the emotional response to the cruelty demonstrated by the characters in the film.These characters destroyed the hope of an innocent being.I had more feelings for the poor cat than I did for either character. That their complacency and cruel disregard for the promise of unfulfilled hope they gave to this poor animal led to an innocent beings death.Truly despicable that they should allow such innocence to perish because of their stupidity and selfish disregard for life.Both characters should have perished in the end for the cruel ending they brought upon an innocent creature who's hopes were destroyed by an undeserved death.To allow to die through false hope is terribly cruel to an innocent creature.
