Review of Easier with Practice (2009) by Matt S — 13 Mar 2010
This film is basically going straight to dvd after a healthy life on the festival circuit. I became interested in it after it won the "Someone To Watch Award" at last weekend's Independent Spirit Awards and got hooked up with a copy.
It stars The Hurt Locker's Brian Geraghty as a shy author who has difficulty in relationships with women. While on a book tour, he begins a phone sex relationship with a random stranger who calls his hotel room one night.
The film earned an NC-17 for language & sexual dialogue which feels completely unfair. I suppose that there were a couple of somewhat graphic moments in their conversations, but it never felt gratuitous. I really enjoyed the performances here and it's probably not a film for everybody, but I'd recommend it. You can rent it on dvd (at least from Netflix!) on April 6th.
