Adults in their 20s circle each other, their bodies in motion, with occasional attractions and lots of talk. Alan is a musician, just down to New York from Boston, hanging out with his friend Lawrence and Lawrence's girlfriend Ellie. Alan and Ellie are on a bed talking: is this prelude or possibility? Sara, who has interviewed Alan for the radio, seems attracted to Alan, but Alan may not be so sure. They, too, sit on the edge of a bed. He has a gig; it goes well. How should he handle Sara? Has the moment with Ellie passed? Do things play out or does time merely pass as bodies move through space?
Leave your thoughts about Mutual Appreciation.
| TV GuideKen FoxA marvelous, deceptively simple accomplishment shot on grainy 16mm film and featuring a cast of mostly nonprofessional actors delivering loosely written dialogue. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestBujalski is obviously a natural born filmmaker, capturing casually perfect moments that build unto an unexpectedly powerful whole. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckParticularly adept at chronicling the vague existential aimlessness of a segment of postcollege young adults, Bujalski manages to make his subjects seem simultaneously articulate and socially dunderheaded. |
| Boston PhoenixChris FujiwaraMutual Appreciation shows life as contingent, conditional, enigmatic, never finally realized, as, in short, everything that the Harvey Mansfields of the world abhor, and it shows why to accept this kind of life is an act of strength. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanGently persistent in its ironies, "Funny Ha Ha" managed to be both charmingly lackadaisical and annoyingly smug; Mutual Appreciation, which Bujalski shot in grainy black-and-white in hipster Brooklyn (and is self-distributing), is even more so. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThis new film will likely earn even fewer fans but it's an even more accomplished work. |
| Empire MagazineAlan MorrisonJust because you shoot semi-improvised scenes in black-and-white doesn't mean you're the new Jim Jarmusch. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealBujalski stubbornly refuses to stick to the accepted constructs of story structure or character development, content to sit back and calmly carve off a thick, juicy slice of a life that's all the more sumptuous for its texture. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonIf John Cassavetes had directed a script by Eric Rohmer, the result might have looked and sounded like Mutual Appreciation. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerA modest step up from its assured predecessor in both content and form. |
