The movie tells the story of part-time pianist and full-time underdog Monty Fagan (Johnny Simmons) whose May-December romance turns to upend his home life.
What stands out then is the sense of place, which feels like it was drawn directly from Schwartzman's own experiences as a musician and a child of a celebrity. He knows what he wants to show, if not yet what he wants to say.
It's a smart, understated sex comedy, a description that suggests a certain maturity. You'd never suspect it was the first feature from its director, Robert Schwartzman.
Schwartzman is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, and the cousin of Sofia and Roman. What can I tell you? Not everyone can go into the family business.
