A Love Affair of Sorts

Levy's innovative movie should appeal to mumblecore fans while perplexing mainstream audiences.

Infuriatingly navel-gazing and insubstantial.

Though the title hints at a tale of infatuation, Levy sheds little light on interpersonal conflict or why we're such an addictively self-documenting modern society.

Tedious enough to serve as a cautionary example of the pitfalls of DIY filmmaking.

It is part of the film's premise that the movies are only a pretext to serve personal needs. Given how little the murky finished product offers an outside audience, this comes across all too convincingly.

David Guy Levy's movie foregrounds the potential ugliness of modern technology in order to comment on it. But that doesn't make the film's visuals any less hideous.

For more experienced viewers, the tired terrain is badly shot and haphazardly assembled into an audience-testing feature that appears to have no idea how unlikable or unprovocative it is.
