Boy, I really underrated this the first time. It’s pretty great, and especially sensational as a debut for B.J. Novak.
Plenty of influences, sure. Definitely some Coen brothers, a pinch of Lynch, even Son in Law. But it is also extremely modern in a really impressive way that makes it different from all of those, capturing the disconnected times we live in, when meaning seems meaningless most of the time. “Everything means everything. So nothing means anything.”
