Review of I Am Not a Hipster (2013) by Adam G — 06 Aug 2014

Destin Cretton knows how to work with actors. The primary cast of I Am Not a Hipster is captivating enough save the film from utter mediocrity and elevate it into the category of watchable character study.

Yet, a distinct lack of originality on a script level prevents the film from being particularly memorable. The soundtrack, however, is excellent and there are moments sprinkled throughout that hint at Cretton's potential as a director (which would later be realized with Short Term 12).
