Worst I saw at SXSW. As I said before, "A film about the 80s is supposed to make the audience feel a time and a place – to appreciate, or at least, understand it. To rely on nostalgia alone is never enough and results in something as uneven and pale as this. In the future, Tully oughta use nostalgia as a tool, not a crutch. Here though, he's nostalgia crutching so hard that it's no wonder the film can hardly stand on its own two feet."
