Discussion follows with producer Michael Clark.

Jessica Williams is “a radiant, tall glass of dopeness” (NYT) in this delightful rom-com about an aspiring New York playwright on the rebound. She is going through what she describes as a “weird transitional phase,” not coping well with the break-up and trying to stay optimistic as rejection letters from theater companies pile up.

She sees light at the end of the tunnel when she meets Boone (Chris O’Dowd), who’s also recovering from a recent heartbreak. Together, they figure out a way to make it in a post-relationship world. O’Dowd proves a charming co-star, but it is Williams’ film—her snark and bravado are irresistible.

D: Jim Strouse, US, 2017, 1h25m
