Overview

Following the lackluster launch of her debut novel, 35-year-old writer Kate Conklin (Gillian Jacobs) receives an invitation from her former professor and old crush (Jemaine Clement) to speak at her alma mater. With her book tour canceled and her ego deflated, Kate decides to take the trip, wondering if it might give her the morale boost she sorely needs. Instead, she falls into a comical regression—from misadventures with eccentric twenty-year-olds, to feelings of jealousy toward her former professor’s new favorite student. Striking the balance between bittersweet and hilarious, Kate takes a journey through her past to re-evaluate her future.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A wry, self-aware comedy about a writer returning to her college town only to discover she's not the person she thought she'd become. It's gently funny and touching without ever getting too sentimental.
