Strange film. As it goes on it becomes less and less a cinematic experience and more and more a TV sit com, with sub plots about silly subsidiary characters and the writing becoming less sharp and perceptive and more gaggy. By the end it resembles a mid level episode of "Girls" which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just not what I signed on for at the beginning when I had hopes for a light/dark jaunt through Dave Dinkins' NYC (when buildings in SOHO still sprouted graffitti). Still, the film's likability quotient's pretty high what with Parker Posey at her often awkward, always weird, occasionally charming best. If only for this unjustly neglected actor's work one should give this a looksee. Give it a generous B minus for her.
