DIR. ANDREW BUJALSKI
2013 | USA | 92 MIN

Andrew Bujalski, creator of the mumblecore classics, Funny Ha Ha and Mutual Appreciation has topped himself here with an incredibly weird, subtle comedy with an all star cast from the independent world including Wiley Wiggins (Dazed and Confused) and veteran Boston film critic Gerald Peary. 

Reviews

“Set in the early ‘80s, the movie concerns a group of programmers competing to see who has designed the best chess-playing computer software at a convention - one of which will eventually play against a human chess master. This framework is mainly used to hang a series of humorous and increasingly weird and unsettling vignettes around a cast of colorful, realistically drawn characters... one could possibly summarize the tone as being some kind of bizarro blend of Christopher Guest mockumentary....one of the strangest, smartest and best films of the year thus far.”– SEAN EGAN
