the film Straight Up gives you a sense of love from a different perspective. No jabs, no punches, just a real-life interpretation of what two people in love with each other’s mind would look like -- just a lot of heart
often charming in the most confrontational way possible, Straight Up pays due respect to the endlessly creative ways people delude themselves into avoiding difficult realities
a little of this can go a long way (the film is sometimes a bit airless), but James Sweeney is a filmmaker with the rare ability to toss antically inspired dialogue right off the edge of his brain. "Straight Up" is the work of a startling talent
"Straight Up", a sweet, funny and thoroughly winning romantic comedy that's a kind of a bi-curious take on "When Harry Met Sally" for the Millennial crowd -- or anyone else looking for some brainy, banter-rific fun
