Drinking Buddies (2013)

Flawed, but better than expected. Definitely more of a drama than a rom-com. It might have worked better if Olivia Wilde's character was a little more likeable (I was rooting against her at times), but there are enough scenes that work that it's still worth seeing, probably.

Drinking Buddies (2013)

I was thinking romcom - what I got was a mature and realistic exploration of relationships and whether we're in the one we should be. Really interesting choice to omit music for the most part throughout the movie. Ratchet's up the tension, but in places compromises atmosphere.
