7/10
Sweet though sometimes slow

Parker Posey is an amazing actress and was able to carry this movie with some real hard to swallow details. Being lonely, being scared what people think, being scared that you come off as desperate, all of these problems and more are dealt with in a really sweet but thought-provoking way in this movie.

I enjoyed the characters a lot and though the ending was kind of a romance cliché, it was pleasing. Plus, there's really no such thing as a cliché anymore, because everything is a cliché. If she didn't find him, that would be the anti-cliché, which itself has become a cliché. But enough of my rant.

I loved the character of Nora, and I liked how the movie was subtle and truthful about relationships. I think the humor lied in the honesty of being alone and wanting so bad to find that right person, but knowing that there are problems you have to deal with in yourself before its a good time to fall in love.

In summation, it's a good movie about finding love even when you feel extremely anxious and worried about love. Or something like that. I would see it if I was you.
