Reception
Reviews of the film were mostly positive. In the New York Times, critic Teo Bugbee praised the film as "[...] a sendup of broke-artist types that shimmers with abashed affection".[1] A review on The Playlist by Lena Wilson echoed this sentiment, writing that it: "[...] perfectly reproduces a subculture, both visually and narratively".[2] RogerEbert.com highlighted Jane's portion of the narrative, saying the film "[...] picks up and flies" when focused on her.[3]
Michael Zelenko, writing for The Verge, praised the film's depiction of the characters' relationship with their cell phones.[4]
