Sorry, Thanks (Netflix, IFC)
Feature Film
Director & Writer Dia Sokol Savage
Dir. of Photography: Matthias Grunsky
“Could easily become a well-worn favorite of the DVD library of Gen-Yers of both sexes. Sokol’s script (co-written with producer Lauren Veloski) is as seamless as any studio rom- com—if studio rom-coms had astute, nuanced dialogue ... with a bumbling male like Wiggins at her film’s center (along with a superbly caustic supporting performance by Bujalski as his incredulous best friend) Sokol has not attempted to feminize Mumblecore. Rather, she has commercialized it—and that’s not a bad thing.”
—Lena Dunham, HAMMER TO NAIL, March 15, 2009
Disaster looms when Kira (reeling from a brutal break-up) sleeps with the disheveled Max (who already has a girlfriend). Max in turn decides to dabble in two new pursuits: an obsessive- tending interest in Kira, and (more fleetingly) in solving the mystery of whether he may in fact be an ass. SORRY, THANKS charts turmoil, deep fallibility, and the wreckage of self-delusion. In a laughy kind of way.

"The script should circulate among Hollywood studios looking to break that awful 'bromance' formula.” —Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE, March 16, 2009
