I thought it was very well written, and somehow deeper than I expected. Overall I felt it was kind of a poetic movie.
I would say that's a strong debut in directing for Eisenberg. The slow zoom into himself during his monologue at the restaurant might be a bit too pretentious (Oscars didn't take the bait), even though the restraint and solemnity of the camp scene definitely shows he knows what he's doing.

Kieran Culkin is excellent.
