Liberal Arts (2012), Josh Radnor
2.5/5
Pretentious from beginning to end, but what can you really expect from a film titled "Liberal Arts". Having said that, the characters are funny, if somewhat annoying at times. It turns into a later stage coming of age film, that overtly states the meaning, and is in no way artistic. The characters feels like mechanics rather than rounded characters, all for the purpose of the main characters "enlightenment". With the exception of Allison Janney (The Oranges) who gives the stand out performance. I found it's use of mental illness and literature and grand notions to be annoying, cliche and inauthentic. Overall a cliche and over written drama.
