This film premiered at the 2005 sundance film festival and I was one of those lucky enough to attend the premiere. To be honest, I was expecting something mildly amusing and nothing more. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised.
The Puffy Chair is a joy to watch, from beginning to end. Mark Duplass, Rhett Wilkins and Kathryn Aselton play off of each other so well that watching the film makes a person feel like a part of some in-joke. These are amazingly real and intimate performances, and every subtle emotion that is portrayed in both the dialogue and action comes across as if the audience were a part of the film.
This movie definitely deserves to be seen by a large number of people. It may not be a candidate for mainstream success, but those who take the time to seek it out will find it a rewarding experience.
