Liberal Arts (2012)
Written, directed by
and staring Josh Radnor this film also features Elizabeth Olsen,
Richard Jenkins and Alison Janney. A man in his thirties returns to
his old college to visit a retiring professor and embarks on a
relationship with a 19 year old student.
None of this is new
ground and at times the plot is a little too obviously constructed
but there is a certain charm to proceedings that carries the film. If
you want something original about nostalgia for youth and older men
dating younger women when it's not a good idea you should look
elsewhere but for what this is this is a pretty decent film. Somewhat
amazingly Radnor manages to throw off his annoying sitcom persona to
be somewhat more considered if a little pretentious here.
3/5
