ANGELIKA’S NOTE

This Golden Globe nominated, Film Independent Spirit Award winning film follows a comic book artist whose hopes are dashed when he falls for a lesbian colleague. The Los Angeles Times calls it a "work of such fierce intelligence and emotional honesty that it blows away the competition when it comes to contemporary romantic comedy."
