Review of Nobody Walks (2012) by Emily S — 06 Aug 2012

I saw this at BAM in Brooklyn and it was incredible! Rosemarie Dewitt is so wonderful (she's not the lead but totally stole the show for me) and she has great chemistry with both Krasinski and Justin Kirk. Three of my favorite TV actors in one seriously fine film.

Olivia Thirlby is excellent too as a very driven young woman artist. She has great style and a very intense, unique energyâ"an ingà (C)nue but not so innocent at all. But I think my favorite part is how gorgeous LA looks. It's really sexy and a little seventies naturalist but also completely "contemporary LA" in a way I've never seen so accurately portrayed. I definitely identified as a New Yorker who has visited LA and had a major crush on the parts of it that just seem like, so hip and mysterious and "how can I figure out how to live like this?!".

I am a big fan of Dunham's work and actually saw this because of how much I liked Russo- Young's last film, "You Wont Miss Me." This is a smart and funny and great to look at collaboration for them as writers and I'm super excited to see what Russo-Young does next....
