  ★★★½ review by Matt Singer on Letterboxd

  This movie shouldn't feel special. Underneath the extremely likable lead performances from Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy and the hot-button subplot, this is about as Sundancey as Sundance movies get. You've got your underestimated TV comedian making the leap to "serious" feature acting, you've got your (wo)man-child twentysomething protagonist who is avoiding adulthood and searching for meaning, and you've got you've got your soundtrack of twee acoustic rock. All that's really missing is the vintage VW bus and I think you've filled every blank in the Sundance screenplay Mad Lib.

  What separates it from the pack is that strong female perspective (from Slate and writer/director Gillian Robespierre) and its deft, underplayed handling of the abortion, which is surprisingly mature for a movie about immature people. These things *should* be more commonplace; it *shouldn't* feel like a refreshing change of pace to see a smart, funny female-driven independent movie, but unfortunately it kind of does.
