Rating: A- -- What looks like a drama of adultery turns out to be an exploration of how the spaces between people can separate them or join them, often at the same moment. Full Review
Entertainment Weekly

A collection of indie movie clichés, the kind of film where every character is an actor or a musician or some sort of artist. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Alexander the Last, a 72-minute series of loosely connected scenes, follows an actress's lurching conversations and tentative gestures in life and the theater.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Swanberg aspires to the next level -- in story scope, character development, and artistic commentary -- and just misses the mark. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Mumblecore has always lived in small moments, sometimes excruciatingly small, but rarely have these moments added up to a memorable takeaway message. Here, they do. Full Review

Clearly a transitional film for Swanberg, with a more assertive authorial voice on the one hand and more tentative (and unspontaneous) work with professional actors on the other. Full Review

Joe Swanberg makes movies about people struggling to remove the quotation marks around what they say....The film takes on a sense of mounting dread...

Product Description:

Director Joe Swanberg (NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS) goes beyond the mumblecore movement with this revealing drama about marriage. For ALEXANDER THE LAST, Swanberg reigns over an experienced cast of actors--including Jane Adams, Jess Weixler, and Josh Hamilton--but still incorporates his usual improvisational techniques. MARGOT AT THE WEDDING director Noah Baumbach serves as one of the film's producers.
