A small-scale, big-star character study of exceedingly humble ambition. Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Drinking Buddies, Pitch Perfect) is Jenny, a young woman who goes to live with her brother Jeff (writer-director-star Joe Swanberg) and his wife Kelly (a charming Melanie Lynskey) after a bad breakup. She promptly goes out drinking with her friend Carson (Lena Dunham) and gets blackout drunk. This worries Kelly, who has a baby to consider. But maybe Kelly needs Jenny and Jenny needs Kelly and everybody has things they need to work out? Yeah, maybe. It's all thoughtfully done, but it's more of a highly detailed sketch than anything else: a portrait of a woman on the cusp of growing up. (2014) — Matthew Lickona
