Lovingly photographed in a monochrome that recalls Woody Allen’s Manhattan, this is a slickly scripted rom-com following wannabe scripter Scoot McNairy as he tries to find a date for New Year’s Eve. Having been caught by his housemate masturbating over a Photoshopped image of said housemate’s girlfriend, McNairy advertises for a companion online and spends an idyllic day kvetching around Los Angeles with Sara Simmonds, a chain-smoking blonde who shares his jaundiced view of the world. Their banter is laced with quick wit, but there’s also a real sense of the hard times that have made Simmonds such a tough cookie. Imperfect, but irresistible.
