The whole thing takes place in the apartment but you never feel like it's stagy. The director used the space very creatively and each year has it's own stylistic feel. loved the progression through the years and hairstyles. 1985- 1995. and how the three virtual strangers become real family. There is a pleasant use of stunt casting as some well known actors show up playing on again, off again boyfriends, girlfriends and things in between. It started slowly but as each yearly episode passed the accumulated feelings between characters grew and I cared to know how these people were going to end up. And fortunately they don't end up in a neat little package because the film has a more complex idea in mind.

Told one day a year over a decade, a stylish study of modern families.

It's an edgy comedy told in 11 chapters. It follows a trio of Gotham room-mates one day a year from 1985 to 1995. If you've ever had a bad hair day or wondered what it takes to get a great loft in Manhattan this film is for you.
