Movie Review - Liberal Arts (2012)

Liberal Arts (2012) / drama, comedy

Directed and Screenplay by Josh Radnor
Starring: Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney
Trailer: click.

Jesse (Josh Radnor) is a 35-year-old college admissions officer from New York City who loves literature and language. He receives a call from Peter Holberg (Richard Jenkins) who invites him to Ohio to attend his retirement ceremony. There he meets 19-year-old college student Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen) and they start to hang out. Will 16 years difference be a problem for relationship?

From time to time movie is kind of weird or better said, different from typical Hollywood movies but still enjoyable to watch and that opens up many questions. I really like literature related parts and reality aspect of relations. This is the second film directed and written by Josh Radnor (who also star in it). It's not as good as his first (Happythankyoumoreplease) but still likable and relaxing.  3/5
