Thanks for citing the Film Comment piece — ‘mumblecore’ is getting to be an overused dismissal of a lot of work (some worthy, some not), so it’s good to see a definition and some examples.

Hey James,

I was curious about this new release and now you’ve got me, well, curiouser…I still haven’t checked out Benten Films’ first release (“LOL”) either, so I’ll have to tackle that as well.

By the way, a link to this review made the main page of Greencine Daily. Nicely done sir!

Thanks for your comment, Chad. But are you sure you aren’t just saying that because you’re actually in Dance Party USA?

I completely agree. Katz is a great new talent and “Quiet City” definitely shows some maturation, but “Dance Party USA” has a bit more meat on its (bare) bones.
