Fits and Starts

David Warwik (Wyatt Cenac) is a struggling writer who has been toiling away at the same novel for years. His wife Jennifer (Greta Lee) is a hot young literary figure, who has just released a new masterpiece. When her publisher invites the couple to an artists' salon at his home in Connecticut, the pair embark on a twisted journey, and David must face his demons and try to "not be weird" among the waspy salon guests and competitive artists in attendance.
He encounters a dentist with publishing aspirations, a book critic full of condescending advice, a fellow writer who may know his wife a little too well, an old "friend," and a high powered bipolar literary agent who just might be able to help him... for a price.
Nominated for the Gamechanger Award and Jury Award for Narrative Feature at the SXSW Film Festival.

Terrible. Don't waste your time.
Love when people of color are the main characters <3
sweet. funny dialogue. goes to show what good can happen when you don't freak out when bad things happen to you. my husband refuses t cell phone and i kno the world of the one cell phone well.
Cute, funny, David was relatable
terrible, don't waste your time, nothing happens, silly plot and annoying characters
Differently funny. Refreshing.
The first film in a year and a half that I've watched to the end.
Hilarious, though it's appeal may not extend beyond writers.
A totally unbelievable plot. No one is as stupid as the character Wyatt Cenac plays (and he's a writer). How movies like this get money to fund them is a true mystery.
I thought he was quite relatable, definitely more than the other characters. I may be stupid. Perhaps that's what my three degrees, living in five countries, and working in business, politics, education, and religion did to me, and I sure like myself and his character.
man that was excruciating! i just could not watch beyond that point of realizing this. now wonder if ppl who created this are poc themselves or not *yuk*

Funny and inspiring!
That was great, a fun, funny, simple sweet story with engaging dialogue. Worth the watch.
liked this film.
like it :)
Rewarding way to spend some screen time. Cathartic for all of us NY artists who feel awkward while schmoozing. Sweet characters well acted.
I liked it. It what sparks the better half to inspire the other in a strange way.
