Liberal Arts



What I liked:

  • Josh Radnor wrote, directed, and stars in this film.  He's got skills.
  • Elizabeth Olsen is not only stunning but a wonderful actress.
  • Allison Janney has the best character and lines in the film.
  • Richard Jenkins!
  • Did you know that Zac Efron is in the movie?!  He might have the 2nd best character after Janney.  One of his best roles ever.
  • LOVED the Twilight jokes.
  • Great dialogue.
  • It was filmed at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.

What I didn't like:
  • Spoiler Alert - stop reading if you don't want to know...seeing the name of a known actress at the beginning of the film and then seeing her, kind of ruined the ending.
  • It moved a little slow.
  • Jesse is a hypocrite when it comes to age.  He may have had good intentions, but a hypocrite none the less.
  • Peter's story line doesn't ever really go anywhere.

Grade: B-
