People, Places, Things

Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Concords fame (at least that is were I found and loved him) stars in this comedy/drama. Clement plays a graphic novelist who is recently single and recently taking more responsibility for his young daughter. He also teaches at a local community college, and is working on a novel that explores his recent life changes. He meets a young student with real talent, develops a relationship with her mom, and honestly struggles with the reality of his situation. Clement is charming, funny and heartfelt in his portrayal. I liked this film, mostly because of the low-key acting by Clement.
4 stars (out of 5)
