This is more a vehicle to showcase clever

This is more a vehicle to showcase clever and quippy writing than a movie with human characters - which is a tinge problematic when its two main characters who do not desire sex appear to be more like robots than humans. And fine - it's a movie. Movies can create the characters they want but for how human this story is, the characters tend to zap the life out of every scene. Not even just the 2 leads but every character feels definitively manufactured. The fluidity of sexual orientation and uncertainty over desires is a fantastic premise that seems mostly compromised by Straight Up's lack of grace.

Sharp, rapid-fire dialog and a clever premise. I

Sharp, rapid-fire dialog and a clever premise. I was impressed by the writing, the acting, and the directing, and although I struggled to keep up sometimes, I really enjoyed this film. And I am not generally one for rom-coms.

Independent movies truly hold as being a constant

Independent movies truly hold as being a constant foray for fresh ideas and interpretations into old genres and Straight Up is a pure example. This romantic comedy is fresh and very nuanced in the elements that it is made up of. The acting is fresh and awkward, and brought to life by the well thought out dialogues. The script meanders effortlessly, and it's sure to leave audiences guessing as to where it all ends. Romance and sexuality is very complex, and Straight Up brings a lovely spin to how relationships can exist, how the straitjacket that labels sometimes hold can be done away with. It's a movie about a lot of connection, heart and love.
