Izzy Gets The F*ck Across Town is as delightfully offbeat as the title suggests, with an engaging and heartfelt story. Smartly written with stellar acting and deft direction, this hilarious movie demands to be seen as soon as possible.

Davis seems to be down for whatever develops...playing Izzy with energetic animation as she bounces from one manic situation to the next. Osment and Shawkat make the most of their brief, amusingly awkward scenes, while Coon's attempts to behave like an actual adult are skillfully undone by Izzy's determined disorderliness.

A bit Run, Lola, Run for the Los Feliz hipster set, Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town has more depth and heart than the title and poster may indicate. It's a rare gem: a drama with clear stakes and legitimate laughs. Especially keep an eye out for Carrie Coon to steal the show and be involved in a shockingly powerful acoustic musical number. Mackenzie Davis remains the most under-rated actor of her generation.

This movie was on the money - Mackenzie Davis is unbelievable. The writing was funny, sharp, the directing was excellent - there's a really cool lighting trick in a bathroom scene that I dug. Stylistically aggressive, not everyone's thing, I love that.

It helps that Davis is insanely charismatic onscreen, but her ability to showcase the vulnerability and scar tissue beneath this human embodiment of an extended middle finger gives the movie a semblance of depth.

The film is about being overwhelmed by Los Angeles, its sprawling indifference, but also about finding your place in it — and even, at times, its welcoming warmth.

It’s all mighty existential and interesting, yet the introduction of this heady topic acts as prelude to a rather bizarre, if dark, comedic situation. The timing, like everything in this movie, is a little off-kilter.

The only thing less satisfying than the build-up is the finale, which goes from mind-boggling to you’ve got to be kidding me.

The self-serious meditations on fate and responsibility — as well as the uneven but ever-charged flare-ups between Izzy and whoever she’s talking to — recall exercises in an acting class. By the end, we understand her motivations and recent biography, but precious little about who she is as a person.

Outstanding film. Great cast and great music. Funny that the writer/director spoke at a panel tonight and finished by asking that people trudge over to Rotten Tomatoes to talk up the film. Screw that! They don't do crap for independent film. This site has always done better by the indies.

Saw it twice. Liked it even better the second time- picked up on more nuance. And when Izzy and her ex are in the bathroom and its this flashback without cutting away lit up all red... really unique and so well done. you just have to see it to get it.

Fun cast all around. A funny modern twist on a timelessness story of love, loss and growth. A real grounded interpretation of the protagonists struggle and how the past effects the present. Having the courage to overcome and eventually see the future you desire and keeping a good buzz while going through it all.

Big fan of Riotgrrrl - Bikini Kill, etc. - and think Mac Davis captured the spirit effectively. Carrie Coon does a really nice job as her sister. Special mention of Sheldon Bailey who is incredibly good in a small part as Mac's roommate's BF. Great to see truly independent films like this are still being made.
