If nothing else, Modern Love Is Automatic leaves you curious to see what this filmmaker will do next.
Top CriticModern Love eventually becomes a portrait of an unlikely friendship, and climaxes with a shadowy karaoke triumph, to New Order's "Age of Consent." Sweet.
Whip-smart, compelling, well-acted, wickedly funny, bold and visually stylish without a trace of pretentiousness.
A jagged little jawbreaker made by and for aggressive youth-culture addicts.
A fascinating character study serving up as sharp a contrast in leading ladies as you're ever likely to encounter onscreen.
Zach Clark's film posits a world in which finding and maintaining amour is anything but routine.
Captures with rare sensitivity, however freaky, the pros but more likely cons literally, of the female working stiff experience in America. Same Shift, Different Day.
