Leaving November 30 • 1h 19m

Directed by Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig • 2008 • United States
Starring Greta Gerwig, Joe Swanberg, Jay Duplass

Those are the times that long-distance lovers James and Mattie (he’s in Chicago, she’s in Brooklyn) carve out for their rambling phone calls and decreasingly satisfying hookups. Flash-forward a year: after their breakup, James moves to New York for a job, the couple (“of what?” she asks) reconnect, and they find everything’s more complicated than ever. This fragmented character study offers an unnervingly true-to-life glimpse into a disintegrating twenty-first-century relationship.
