The scouts
The kind of small, shaggy comedy that only works if everyone in it has actually lived in a too-small apartment. Hase has, and you can feel it in every overlapping line.
A lost-cat farce played with the loose overlapping rhythm of a real apartment hangout that refuses to escalate cleanly — Tiny-Furniture domestic disarray in miniature, modest but well-paced.
A lost-cat farce played with the loose overlapping rhythm of a real apartment hangout that refuses to escalate cleanly — that conversational drift is the whole texture. Multiple-threads-at-once dialogue is the hardest thing to write.
Reviews
The film is carried by its naturally funny performances and a perfectly real friend dynamic captured in a rolling, overlapping manner.
