The Art of Getting By
In the first scene, the camera passes by Tom's Restaurant, the same restaurant featured in Seinfeld (1989), aka Monk's.,George Zinavoy: I read a quote once when I was a kid "We live alone, We die alone. Everything else is just an illusion." it used to keep me up at night.,In the UK, the film was originally seen for advice by the BBFC in a rough cut form. The BBFC advised the filmmakers that the film was likely to receive a 15 rating, but that a 12A rating could be awarded if the strong language was reduced. When the finished version of the film was submitted for a formal rating in the UK, the number of uses of strong language had been reduced from five to one and the film was passed 12A. These cuts appear to have made their way into all releases of the film.,Featured in Ebert Presents: At the Movies: Episode #1.22 (2011),We Will Become Silhouettes

Courtesy of Sub Pop Records,The Art of Getting By. Being somewhat of an expert at this just getting by in life thing. I loved it. This is for the younger crowd and being an old man. I still got the drift of the plot. A good watch not to be missed. Are players in this film grow up, well there last year of school, they find what's important to them and go with it. Some facts in life are hard to face, and our fears sometimes overwhelm us in doing the things we want to the most.

Tho are parents at time will dive us to do thing we don't like, Doing right by yourself is what's best and shown here.

Not only do are two love struck kids grow up but so do their parents.

Very moving, I didn't shed a tear. It did bring to light what we take for granted.

8.5/10,
