Nathan Silver directs Jason Schwartzman, Carol Kane and Dolly de Leon in this romantic comedy where a grieving cantor begins a friendship with his high school music teacher defined by mutual attraction.

Mumblecore? Very sweet but also incredibly anxious. There is a lengthy dinner party scene near the end where the dialogue overlaps and thoughts are never finished… edge of the seat stuff. Ultimately this indie still is a minor movie but in gifting the always fantastic Carol Kane a lead role you can’t help but root for it.
