Late August, Early September

A group of friends in their late 30s struggle to come to terms with the problems in their lives - career, lost relationships, money and other existential concerns. But the foremost worry in their minds is the health of their enigmatic author friend. The main character in the film seems completely lost trying to juggle two women from the past and present respectively, understanding what it is that he really feels for his author friend and getting his personal writing career on track.

Fine performances littered through out the movie that make you a part of their lives; but at the end of it all, the movie has little to offer in terms of brilliance - which I think is because of the lack of closure at the end. But should that really matter?

Rating : * * +

Decent flick. I would recommend "Facing Windows" in light of your view.
