An unfocused twenty-something moves in with a former co-worker, who is suffering from low self-esteem because of her weight, looks, and a case of eczema. Through, excessive drinking, drugs, and sex, the two become emotionally entangled. This tragicomic love story explores codependency, obsession, and addiction in a tender and humorous light, rather than a cautionary tale.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
Praise will stick with you. It's more than worthy of its title.
Not enough happens in it. And yet everything happens in it.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Unrelentingly, admirably committed to its own grimness.
Projects a confessional frankness about human relationships that has the messy feel of truth.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
The film's earthy frankness is refreshing.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Their doomed fling is oddly hypnotic and ultimately haunting.
A surprisingly affecting mood piece.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Heavier on mood than incident, but its vision of a doomed erotic power war has a lurching authenticity.
