Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

Sundance 2017 Review: Person to Person

By Andrea Thompson

It’s rather hard to be cavalier about someone else’s problems when they take them so seriously and so personally.

Oh wait, no it isn’t. Especially when they’re the types of problems found in Person to Person, which might as well come with a checklist so viewers can mark off every bad indie trope it contains. The film bills itself as a more eloquent mumblecore offering about a series of inconsequential stories about an ensemble cast of New Yorkers (of course that’s where it takes place) while betting that we’ll care about them by the end. In the end, do we? Maybe, but just not in the way Person to Person wants us to.
