    Well worth a watch

    I enjoyed this. It's bang on the nose in terms of the art world. I love the performancesa dn the dark, dry, drol humour.

    Three friends from art school try to launch their careers in New York City's bizarre art world while trying to figure themselves out.

    Meaningful and sensitive and TRUE smallbudget indie.

    some good skewering

    Dan Pierson has graduated from art school but nobody wants his art. It's not dark enough. He comes up with an unusual idea. He has to paint his mother nude. This is an indie of three friends from art school struggling to make it in the New York art world.

    There is some good skewering of the art world. The only problem is that I don't really care about these characters. Some of that is probably the no name actors. A lot of it has to be my dislike of Dan's self-righteousness. If I actually care about these people, this would be a compelling watch.

    Starts well

    This movie started surprisingly well. I laughed out loud for the first fifteen minutes or so - I thought it was smart, original and funny, but unfortunately it looses rapidly it's steam, and becomes some kind of light comedy about the world of art. I was disappointed but saw the whole film nonetheless, hoping it would regain some force. It didn't.
