Movie Haiku:Yet another Solondz trip to Jewish New Jersey. This time Solondz doesn''t tell you where he is, he just puts "Abe" (Gelber) in a Livingston Lancers t-shirt. After establishing that Abe is a total loser, especially in comparison to brother Richard (Bartha)--the Doctor--film goes down misanthropic rabbit hole. Rich had some empathy for Abe; Jan had none.
