*ing : Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini, Catherine Keener
Director : Nicole Holofcener
This is a sweet, small movie, where everything works really well. It's mostly about the acting, I think, and everyone is terrific. I don't think anyone in the cast was less than great.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini are especially good, though. I'm a big fan of Seinfeld and Veep, as well as of The Sopranos, but I think the two of them were as good here as they've been anywhere.
Finally, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but the film came across almost as a love letter to LA. It makes the city seem like it would be a great place to live. It would be pretty great if this picture founded a genre.
