Clearly a transitional film for Swanberg, with a more assertive authorial voice on the one hand and more tentative (and unspontaneous) work with professional actors on the other.

For Alexander the Last, Swanberg reigns over an experienced cast of actors -- including Jane Adams, Jess Weixler, and Josh Hamilton -- but still incorporates his usual improvisational techniques. Margot at the Wedding director Noah Baumbach serves as one of the film's producers. --© IFC Films [More]

Reviews for Alexander the Last
Alexander the Last, a 72-minute series of loosely connected scenes, follows an actress’s lurching conversations and tentative gestures in life and the theater.
At a slight 72 minutes, the DIY director's latest bout of psychosexual titillation (which is being made available on-demand in conjunction with its SXSW fest premiere) feels undercooked.
What looks like a drama of adultery turns out to be an exploration of how the spaces between people can separate them or join them, often at the same moment.
