Looking for Jimmy (2002) User Reviews

An amateurish film not worth the time.

[TimCinLJ · 3/10 · 9 November 2002]

Although I have found Julie Delpy an appealing actress, her first foray into writing and directing is abysmal. The plot line consists of filming a friend's birthday party, and then looking for her boyfriend, Jimmy, who has not come to the party. Unfortunately this is simply a self indulgent film which is worse than most home movies. The good new is that it is so bad that I doubt even the most avant-garde film houses will show it.

A true and funny portrait of life in LA. Shot in real time.

I enjoyed the freedom of filmmaking and story telling. It is less pretentious than dogma films and in the same time truer to their ideology. The film captures the empiness of Los Angeles, of the life of a few misfits on an absurd journey through out the city. What is funny and original about the story is that there is no real self discovery being made. Every one start off neurotic and lost and end up neurotic and lost in the desert.
