So glad to have come across this film. Such a warm, lovely, sometimes painful slice of that time of life. Cooper's film is such an accurate depiction of those early struggles away from home, trying to separate, to make real connections in an environment where that is so often not the norm, even the outcast.
Cooper(and his character)is all heart, so sincere, so earnest, so appealing in every way. On the one hand it is hard to believe that at 23, he could both write and act so beautifully but then again who could do it better than both the adolescent and young man who lived it. How fortunate that Mark Duplass recognized Cooper's gift and moved it along for us all to experience.
Looking forward to Cooper Raiff's next film/films!
