Although not terribly focused, Hannah Takes the Stairs contains refreshing realism.

It's never enough to establish any sensitivity or social pertinence beyond the trifling tiffs which are playing out on screen. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/6 | Full Review…

There's only so much twentysomething navel-gazing one can listen to before wanting to slap some sense - and some fully formed sentences - into them all. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There is something teeth-grindingly cutesy about the whole thing, reaching epic levels of dippiness in the, ahem, nude trumpet-playing scenes. That makes it sound interesting, come to think of it, and perhaps it is. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The film meanders along in conversational style, encouraging improvisational realism but also the thought that maybe these middle-class characters, not quite slackers, are less interesting than they, or the director, think they are. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/5

Smart and engaging, but too many meandering breeze-shooting sequences. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 3/5

Less dazed and confused than mumbling and mundane, this drama focuses on social awkwardness and twentysomething blues. Skipping aimlessly from scene to scene it offers little observations and rewards low expectations. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

For every revelatory moment of sharp perception there's an eternity of goofy smiles, stuttered dialogue and embarrassed glances. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Watchable independent drama from the mumblecore crowd, though it's not quite sharp enough, funny enough or insightful enough to really get off the ground and the characters are occasionally irritating. Jan 9, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
