You Wont Miss Me

Freshly discharged from a mental hospital, Shelly (Schnabel) is a troubled 23-year-old Brooklyn hipster wandering the streets for trouble. Whether it be sex with strangers, absurd acting auditions, or just yelling in public, Shelly can't seem to find much of anything. A snapshot portrait of a person disconnected with both society and possibly herself. Director and co-writer Russo-Young captures the grunge of this NY world and gets a realistic performance from Schnabel, but to little avail. So aimless in scope that the line between irritating art imitating irritating life becomes very much blurred. (And, yes, it's too cool for an apostrophe.)
