I’m a fan of the work of writer/director Andrew Bujalski. He emerged from the “mumblecore” crowd with a unique vision and style (he stood out because he had a style, not to mention actual shooting scripts). Computer Chess was fantastic, one of my favorite movies that year. Hitting theaters today is his latest, Results, about a competitive group of personal trainers in Austin, Texas, and it is his first film to feature established actors. I thought it was very funny, and extremely weird (a compliment in my book – if the whole thing works, that is.) It’s not perfect, but it’s different enough, unique enough, to be a really refreshing and bizarre rom-com. I highly recommend it.
My review of Results is now up at Rogerebert.com.
I really enjoyed Computer Chess, I’ll keep a lookout for this.
Yes! He’s very talented and strange! Like him a lot!!
