I haven't read the David Sedaris "essay" this film is based on, or if I have I've forgotten it, but I have read Me Talk Pretty One Day and When You Are Engulfed By Flames. My overall impression of Sedaris is that, although funny, he is barely able to conceal his misanthropy and that he likes things nice 'n' tidy. A little too tidy, particularly in that last collection in which every piece ends like a key entering a lock, whether it fits or not.
