More people should see this movie. Light drama, subtle humour and the kids are not annoying like in most films of this type. 8 years 8 months ago -

People Places Things stars Jemaine Clement (of Flight of the Conchords) as comic book artist and single father trying to achieve closure with his ex-wife. Closure is a big theme, and the comics talk borrows liberally from Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics (it gets a credit), especially when it comes to that particular concept. As a performer, Jemaine has an inherent sadness that's well used here, but his character has more wit and more self-awareness than his Conchords persona. What comes across is a more mature comedy about this topic than we often get. It's not exactly the undiscovered country, but it has an honesty and thanks to the characters' niche interests, a freshness that elevates the material. 7 years 9 months ago -

This film felt quite weak. There wasn’t much character development and possibly the direction wasn’t there for the actors. 5 years 10 months ago
