Listen Up Philip
On the verge of a breakthrough with his sophomore novel, writer Philip (Jason Schwartzman) abuses the patience and tolerance of both his girlfriend (Elisabeth Moss) and everyone around him. Egged on by his embittered Philip Roth-like mentor Ike (Jonathan Pryce), Philip shuttles between New York City and upstate while waiting for his big break to crest. Alex Ross Perry’s third feature is funny and bitter in equal measure, an acerbically insightful portrait of the artist as an angry bundle of well-articulated hostility.
