Re: Don't You Think . . .

Sure I think there are indie movie cliche's and quirky characters is certainly one them but the people making indie movies aren't the Ferrari driving Palyboy Playmate dating Michael Bays of the world (but then he's his own cliche). They're often the people who feel a little out of sorts with/in the world and their character's reflect that.

And there are certainly people making "indie" flicks who don't actually resonate with alternative view/quirkiness of indie characters and those films are often where the cliche's (or perhaps stereotypes) stand out.

I believe that Miranda July is of the more genuine type and, for me, it was reflected in the film.

The sexual stuff with the kids made sense to me because it was an expression of their own desire to find/have/feel connection. It happens all the time, everywhere.

Anyway, that's my feeling. I liked it and would see it again on video but I certainly don't claim that my view is objective.
