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.

And that anguished [solipsism] seems to be, at least in part, the movie's subject.
trope

manifest
