Quiet City (2007)
3/10
Sweet Stammering Romance
20 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
When mumblecores purpose is to provide a realistic, unfiltered flow of conversations - feeling as they were improvised, there is a line that this movie crosses where it starts to be unreasonable. The same way no human realistically has a perfectly articulate flow of ideas and words, no human stammers and word-vomits THAT much.

It is however a very sweet, casual romance. It really stresses the idea that there is no need for chemistry to be explosive at first sight - where you find the love of your life across a crowded airport.

The situation develops naturally mostly (expect the part where the female protagonist agrees to stay at this completely random persons home for the night, after he fails to not sound like a potential serial killer) and you're left with a semi-open ending - sweet in the moment romance, however you never know if they will end up being together in the future.
