After a couple of gimmicky transgressive comedies (Humpday and Your Sister's Sister), writer-director Lynn Shelton takes a more observant approach this time.

The actors are all first-rate and the performances are fascinating, though Shelton, who shuns exposition, makes you work to figure out the interrelationships.

I wanted to like this movie more than I did.

Everything feels sketchy and unformed in a film with promising elements that fail to gel.

There is strong character work in here, one or two genuinely touching moments, and some good laughs too.

Despite its hints of New Age mysticism and serviceable performances from an able cast, Touchy Feely is too entrenched in its dour tone to be uplifting.

There's something fresh and new here, something that wasn't so dominant in [Shelton's] previous work.

Innocuous then, but sadly lacking the wit and insight of Shelton's far superior Your Sister's Sister.

The semi-improvised dialogue has the juicy tang of authenticity in the hands of this highly competent cast, and the players and Shelton never sneer at the characters' new-agey beliefs.

The kind of film that makes you wish they had perfected choose-your-own-adventure technology for movies, one that would allow you to ditch the central character and follow any number of the story's more interesting second bananas.

Decent performances, but the film as a whole is a dramatic and thematic mess.
September 12, 2013
A work that gestures toward depths without truly plumbing them.
