Sundance review: "Nobody Walks"
Published on Jan 22, 2012 05:26PM
"Nobody Walks"
U.S. Dramatic
** ½ (two and a half stars)
Beware the bohemian artist woman, Ry Russo-Young's drama teaches us. Martine (Olivia Thirlby), with her pixie haircut and free-wheeling sexuality, arrives in Los Angeles to work on the sound effects for her art-gallery video piece. She enters the home life of Peter (John Krasinski), a sound engineer, and Julie (Rosemarie DeWitt), a psychologist, and inadvertently wreaks havoc. The performances, especially by DeWitt as the most level-headed one of the bunch, outpace the sketchy characterizations of the script (which Russo-Young wrote with "Tiny Furniture's" Lena Dunham).
