Can't Wait: Nobody Walks

Wow, I'm usually pretty up on the indie scene but I hadn't heard about this little flick called "Nobody Walks" which was written by the incredibly talented "Girls" creator, Lena Dunham (my new idol!).  It stars Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie Dewitt, John Krasinski, Dylan McDermott and "Weeds" Justin Kirk. An amazing cast and directed by Ry Russo-Young, who is an up-and-coming young director breaking out on the scene.  This film already has gained many accolades having won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance and a great review from Time's Richard Corliss...

"Plenty of movies have turned their off-camera drama into gossip, with stories about sex on the set; this may be the first film about promiscuity in post-production. But the true subject here isn’t moviemaking; it’s the ardor that old romantic films used to stoke — as gorgeous stars in 50-foot closeups celebrated their oneness with a cigarette, two glasses of champagne and some Max Steiner violins — and which the little people watching these rapturous fantasies rashly applied to their own lives. Nobody Walks updates that grand and foolish impulse by acknowledging the seductive musk of attractive people in close proximity, in an age when fidelity is just the longest f-word."

But you can decide for yourself.  This film opens today!  Enjoy!
