The movie's money quote comes early in the film. Middle-aged, disheveled director Robert Feinberg says of his career: "When I was 22, it was great to have a film. When you're 58 with an unfinished film that you made when you were 22, that's not so great ... That's too bad. That's, uh-oh." But that's just the situation Feinberg finds himself in, because he hasn't finished editing a movie he shot as a promising young filmmaker—starring his young girlfriend and with the backing of a young Martin Scorcese no less, in 1970 in New York. Now with the help of his erstwhile girlfriend, he's determined to finally get it done. Or is he, really? Contemplate your own fear of finishing a thing—and the humiliation and horror of not finishing it—with lovelynutty characters, against the ridiculously rich backdrop of Feinberg's footage of that gritty era in New York.
