Equal-opportunity romantic triangle in which a love-'em-and-lose-'em lesbian (slash opera buff slash one-time novelist), on the rebound from her latest desertion, hooks up with a heterosexual male philosophy professor from Columbia University and simultaneously (out of all the people in New York City!) with his on-and-off girlfriend, all three of whom are in blissful ignorance of the connection. The digital image places the shenanigans behind a dirty windshield, but then again no amount of Windex and elbow grease could make writer-director Maria Maggenti (The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love) look like a Preston Sturges. A brighter image would not brighten the dialogue. Even the most avid rooting interest in Elizabeth Reaser (smart, pretty, talented, modest, human) is doomed to despondence. With Justin Kirk, Getchen Mol, Julianne Nicholson. (2006) — Duncan Shepherd
