Sundance had a lot of hits this year, and one of the big films that got quite a bit of talk was Listen Up Philip. Directed by Alex Ross Perry, it tells the tale of an angry, self-destructive author (Jason Schwartzman) who falls deeper into his self-obsession, highlighted by bringing Elisabeth Moss (his girlfriend) and Jonathan Pryce (as his literary idol) into the mix. It sounds like a sullen movie, but nearly every review praised it for its ripe humor and superb acting. One look at the trailer and it looks like the critics are right.

Listen Up Philip opens on October 17, hits iTunes on October 21 and also stars Krysten Ritter, Jess Wexler, Kate Lyn Sheil, and Dree Hemingway.
