Review: 

People Places Things is a charming and witty movie presented with deep characters. Most of all, the film is very real in which a father deals with handling his former love leaving him, all while improving himself for the better to move forward. 

From the filming in New York City, which felt genuinely authentic, to the depth of the characters, People Places Things is a great watch. What puts the film over is the work of Jermaine Clement who is very funny with witty and sarcastic lines throughout film. 

An interesting and quick watch considering the 1hr and 25 minute run time, I recommend giving this a watch. 

Grade: 3/5
