Drinking Buddies (2013), Joe Swanberg
3.5/5
While this is a low key quirky film it is the performances that really cement it as a great character study. It focuses on best friends Kate (Olivia Wilde, Butter) and Luke (Jake Johnson, New Girl, Safety not guaranteed). On the whole it's a small film, but it's charming and humorous and has substance. There's truth and authenticity in the story, while it is understated and doesn't fall into cliche or melodrama. Overall the performances just give it such a familiar feel as if you know these people or they could be some of your friends.
