He also mentions Godard in it! Squid and the Whale is probably the definition of a great indie film. It's short, cheap, to the point, doesn't have any filler, isn't annoying, is fast-paced, unique, and there's lots of depth to it. Doesn't try to be anything it's not, doesn't have any cliche bullshit, actually has a few things in it you flat out would not see in a "big" movie (little kid wiping cum on lockers). also, can be found at big lots for like $3. amazing film.
