Mutual Appreciation (2005)
From Boston to New York City
"The best narrative feature in the (Independent Film Festival of Boston) is Andrew Bujalski's Mutual Appreciation. Here Bujalski fulfills the promise shown in his 2003 debut feature, Funny Ha Ha. He has moved from the womb of Boston to the testing grounds of New York City and has shifted format to black and white, undaunted by the inevitable comparisons that will be made with every other indie filmmaker who's done the same, or by the irrelevant comparisons that will be made between his hero and that of every other indie film...Bujalski's limpid style and the seeming improvisations have the spontaneity and wit of real life...but when studied reveal the calculation and symmetry of art."Peter Keough
"A droll, stonefaced, dead-on perceptive comedy of manners... Nobody gets the zeitgeist as right as Bujalski and his delicious cast." Gerald Peary
