2. The New Sincerity

The New Sincerity follows Rose Spencer, a staff writer for a prominent New York literary journal. Her editor, the smart and attractively cynical Benjamin, is definitely flirting with herwhile also respecting her writing. With the rise of an Occupy-style political movement in a public park right outside the journals offices, Rose sees a way to participate in what may be the defining activist movement for her generation, but too quickly she must learn to recognize the difference between sincere action and self-promotion.Both entertaining and thought-provoking, this 85-minute zinger about millennials trying to find meaning in their lives isa comedy with a poignant edge. The New York Times.Clever and edgy, Smiths satiric dialogue, with references to our Internet-altered ethos, evokes movements of the past, making the 60s anti-war protests look antique, its ideals meeting just as hollow an end.
