Paul Brawley, a gifted PhD candidate at Yale University, has just moved into an apartment with his pragmatic girlfriend Jen and is struggling to complete his dissertation before he embarks on his career in academia. There's just one snag: as Paul is unpacking his belongings, he discovers that something has been left behind: a seemingly inconsequential object, but one Paul feels is of great importance to his dissertation and therefore to his future: a battered, personally-annotated hardcover copy of 'Little Dorrit' by Charles Dickens. He needs to retrieve it from his former roommate, the obstinate Nancy. As he becomes increasingly consumed with the retrieval of 'Little Dorrit', Paul's relationship and career unravel.
Leave your thoughts about Nancy, Please.
| Easy Reader (California)Neely Swanson... 95 minutes of the same dilemma over and over again. |
| ARTINFO.comJ. HobermanThe acting is disciplined (particularly impressive in that the characters are uniformly unsympathetic) and the timing is carefully worked out with regards to Paul's slow-motion breakdown. |

| User ReviewMike MThis movie is actually a complete waste of your time. Andrew Semans I want my two hours back! And give me your jacket! Because... this was such americana trite, beyond infantile in both the plot and execution. I normally congratulate anyone willing to create anything but in this case I highly recommend you just stop writing movies. Neurocies isn't enough to center an entire film around, you actually need a bit more dude. |
