  If you liked this and want something even more low-key, check out Ryan Veeder's The Ascent of the Gothic Tower (2014).

  A wonderful picture of a strain of American (and especially Texan) culture that's rarely if ever been surveyed with this much fidelity and pleasure.

  Extremely authentic and extremely stylized, and a loving tribute to the long and continuing history of dumb conversations about important anxieties: one of the most aesthetically complete and bewitching ensemble comedies ever made.
