Full Plot Details

Thirty-five-year-old Jesse Fisher, an admissions officer at a New York City post-secondary institution he who loves English and literature, has somewhat lost his passion in life, which includes recently being unceremoniously dumped by his latest girlfriend, who could no longer be the person to prop him up emotionally. He has a chance to find that passion again when he is invited to the retirement dinner of his second-favorite Ohio University college professor, Peter Hoberg, as his time there was when his life held the most passion. Jesse's encounters with five people there may determine if he does find that passion again. They are: Hoberg, who is resisting the notion of retirement; Judith Fairfield, Jesse's favorite professor, although for a different reason than his like of Hoberg; Nat, a free spirit who navigates life at the institution on his own terms; undergraduate student Dean, who Jesse sees as a younger more destructive version of himself; and nineteen-year-old undergraduate student Zibby, who is seemingly wise beyond her years and with who Jesse embarks on a relationship despite their sixteen-year-age difference.

Movie Reviews

Film4 - 10/10 by Catherine BrayA diverting generational three-way dialogue between those barely out of their teens, those in their mid thirties and those well north of fifty.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Andrew SchenkerStill, in the central relationship, the writer-director shows an understanding of human interaction that marks his second feature as a quantum leap beyond his stilted debut, "Happythankyoumoreplease."
Entertainment Spectrum - 9/10 by Keith CohenBesides the acting and original screenplay, the classical music score is another favorable component of the crowd-pleasing escapism offered by this film.
Washington City Paper - 9/10 by Tricia OlszewskiRadnor sure has a lot of ideas for his gently diverting romantic comedy, but he hops from one to another without much depth or staying power, leaving you with a big "So what?" at the end.
The Big Issue (Australia) - 9/10 by Rochelle SiemienowiczThere's nothing predictable about the way the romance unfolds.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThere is a word to explain why this particular film so appealed to me. Reader, that word is "escapism." If you understand why I used the word "reader" in just that way, you are possibly an ideal viewer for this movie.
ColeSmithey.com - 9/10 by Cole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] Writer-director-actor Josh Radnor follows up his debut feature ("Happythankyoumoreplease") with a compact romantic comedy that almost works, but not quite.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeFull of quippy dialogue, banal observations, paper-thin characters and pat resolutions, Liberal Arts is two deodorant commercials away from being a forgettable new TV sitcom.
RedEye - 9/10 by Matt PaisSometimes you want high culture; sometimes you want trash. Liberal Arts teaches the merits of both in a life lived in the present, appreciative of the past.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob Thomas"Liberal Arts" develops into a special film, less of a love story and more about the pleasures and dangers of being on both sides of a nurturing student-mentor relationship.
