Mutual Appreciation has no formulaic narrative to speak of, and it is populated with characters who are bratty and fatalistically naïve. And yet I found this film compulsively watchable; even though none of its characters are engendered with my sympathy, the film has a tangible, exciting reality to it. The comparisons between Andrew Bujalski and John Cassavetes are, by this measure, earned.
