Miranda July 
As a filmmaker, July [favors] episodes over [arcs] and [wry] chuckles over belly laughs. As a performer, she proves compellingly ethereal: evocative where she could have settled for quirky shtick. 

Ditto [for] John Hawkes, of Deadwood fame, who provides a winsome variation on the sort of wounded man-child who pops up in any number of features at Sundance every year. 

Really, there's not a bad performance to be found anywhere in the film. It's the overall tone that's as likely to [annoy] as [enchant]. July makes judicious use of talented composer Michael Andrews, whose previous credits include Donnie Darko and TV's Wonderfalls. 

His compositions help [sustain] the mood of ramshackle momentum and the moments of sudden, tenuous transcendence.


solipsism
Gallo has limited himself to the most proudly [solipsistic] subjects.
And that anguished [solipsism] seems to be, at least in part, the movie's subject.
trope
any literary or rhetorical device as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony
the movie is a veritable scrapbook of [tropes] from the heyday of art film. 
The brief return to Israel at pic's end [contains] one rapid [visual] trope that may pass many auds by.
evict
evince
manifest
yet another movie that [evinces] the filmmaker's obsession with fraternity, not to mention Irene Jacob's face.
