This starts off quite strongly with the dynamic between "Laura" (Holliday Grainger) and "Tyler" (Alia Shawkat) tight and nippy - if largely hedonistic and alcohol fuelled. Once a love interest develops between the pair though, and the latter's sister "Jean" (Amy Molloy) deliberately gets pregnant, the body clocks start ticking and the pace of the film slows to that of a glacier as the sharpness of the first 20 minutes or so takes to it's heels. What that leaves us with is a sort of dull observational documentary on some thoughtless and selfish Dublin pseudo-intellectuals and by the conclusion I just didn't care.
