writer-director Christian Papierniak's debut feature..has charm, thanks in large part to the charisma of lead Mackenzie Davis. But charm and charisma will get you only so far, both in LA and onscreen
ramshackle comedy; Papierniak’s script often strains to force regrets into the foreground..All the punk energy in the world can't distract from the second-rate Sundance-ness
charmingly profane, with a buzzing riot-grrrl soundtrack, "Izzy" is a stylish twist on an '80s trope: Here it's the woman as pathetic supplicant, trying to win back someone who's moved on
