While I personally found her oddly charming her mannerisms and monotone voice seem almost autistic at times.Yi’s singular persona is likely the reason why this film went largely unseen, even by the Cera hardcore.

I know I’m not alone in my opinion, as already won the Screenwriting Award at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.The first is Yi botching interviews and giggling at a very high pitch. The music stuff is mostly just Yi messing around on guitar. It’s good stuff, but it feels like they changed direction dramatically from the finished film.It’s nice to see them here, but the feature is better with the everyman approach. Staged like a documentary, the film tells the story of Yi who, accompanied by her director Nicholas Jasnovec, searches for proof of the existence of true love, a concept in which she does not believe. Did costars Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi actually date, or was their entire “relationship” staged as a sort of ultra-meta Andy Kaufman meets is a puzzle box of a movie.
