We
often think of “coming of age” films as stories about 16 year olds. This movie
is a “coming of age” film about a 28 year old. Davy
(played by Brian Geraghty of The Hurt Locker fame) is a struggling short story
author who is depressed and without purpose -- until an unexpected phone call
from stranger Nicole leads to life-changing phone sex. Davy learns to be honest
with himself and learns when to be dishonest with others. “Coming of age” very
often, not sometimes but often, means giving up an unrealistic sexual fantasy
for a true relationship of meaning. These meaningful relationships are
sometimes erotic, sometimes not, but always soulful. This is an excellent
independent film about lonely people finding companionship. 2/5/12
