DRINKING BUDDIES [2013]

Written & directed by Joe Swanberg, Drinking Buddies is a quiet little mumblecore drama that I found I didn't realize how well done it was until the final 4 minutes.
With the actors completely improvising their dialogue, it's wonderful to see how well it was edited and pieced together to form a slow-burning but seamless pace.   Most drivelling dramas like this would have the characters spilling their emotions out onto the floor as the lame Top 40 song plays, but here we're quite often left guessing what the characters are feeling and makes for a more intriguing story.
