Okay, so this is an indie film made for Sundance, still, it has it all: good script, good directing, superb acting (especially DeWitt)!Given the simple situation (attractive, bohemian art-lover girl arrives to a family), everyone can easily guess the dynamics. However, her presence points to a general pattern that is present everywhere, in everybody's life... Which is wonderfully depicted in one of the scenes - beware, spoiler is coming!**** SPOILER **** After the party, the 'happy' family walks out the door. Happy??? Complete mess!!! The husband is disappointed... because the young art-lover girl left with his young employee. The wife shared a kiss... with her patient. The daughter is in love with the young employee of her father, who left with the art-lover girl... so she had to make do with her classmate for a kiss :) **** END OF SPOILER ****In its genre, this movie is 10/10! Check it out!

The first clue is the runtime of 1 hour and 22 minutes. In a time when Hollywood stretches the limits of audiences' attention spans to their fullest 3 hour seated capacity, "nobody walks" writes its epitaph with (and within) its short start to finish as it starts quickly and runs out of gas just as so. While a specific length is not a necessity, this film is ambitious in its grand plans and yet negligent on its delivery. "Nobody walks"'s quest is to tackle one of modern human life's most specific challenges: monogamy; and more importantly: the desire to stray from it; and that desire in general. Its most profound assertion is that no relationship is sacred, as not even the boundaries of our most official are safe from the powers of lust. It goes even further into suggesting that all relationships are laced with and perhaps built upon this sexual wanting. The movie is passionate about its agenda. So much so; that it beleaguers each of its eight characters with this primal condition. Unfortunately, though all the characters suffer, no one is cured, no one is diagnosed, no one can even admit they have a problem, until the film is over. Ironically, much like a failing marriage, the film cannot deal with the conflict that it has created, so it just doesn't. In the very few scenes with perfunctory attempts, it falls short; as the acting and screen writing remain under equipped to deal with the subject that "nobody walks" promises to celebrate. Functionally anorectic, the film suffers classically from a case of biting off more than it can chew, as the story neither swallows its attempt, nor takes any other bites at all. The characters take no time to introduce themselves before beginning their preconceived flaws, almost as if it wasn't supposed to happen to them at all. And just as soon as they are done, with no question or contrition, they all quit and the credits roll. Perhaps, the film, in its greatest irresponsibility, fails most disappointingly as it never explains why, some characters, though all innately feral in carnality, find vaccination in the last moments of temptation and are spared of their supposed dubious inevitability, and yet others are curiously stricken and never recover. Time management seems to be the success and failure of many films and "nobody walks", though quick in its sprint, might have been better served with a slow jog, or even a more calculated stroll.

I went into this film with high expectations being a huge Lena Dunham fan. The film centres around an experimental film maker and her work with an audio designer. If you have a great pair of headphones or a high end sound system the film wont disappoint your ears either, with a great original score. Rosemarie Dewitt is fantastic as always however my stand- out performance comes from fresh face India Ennenga who for me was the performance highlight. The film wraps up quickly and doesn't waste much time either, its a quick tale told sharply and its brilliant. It baffles me why this has such low scores, possibly they were expecting something more light-hearted penned by Dunham?

I saw this at BAM in Brooklyn and thought it was pretty incredible. Rosemarie Dewitt is so wonderful in her role (she is not the lead but somehow she stole the show for me—she is so beautiful and intelligent and refreshing to watch) and she has great chemistry with both Krasinski and Justin Kirk. It's basically my three favorite TV actors in one great film, getting to do so much more with their talents than you ever see on Mad Men, Weeds or The Office. Olivia Thirlby is excellent too as a very driven young woman artist. Her style is great and she has a very intense and unique energy—an ingénue but not so innocent at all. But I think my favorite part is how gorgeous LA looks and the interiors, too. It is really sexy and a little seventies naturalist but also completely "contemporary LA" in a way I've never seen so accurately portrayed. I really 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....
