When a movie opens with a close-up, montage of mammography, set to a song with lyrics by Paranoid Larry, you don’t know what you’re in for.
Turns out it’s a character introduction.
Rebecca (Rebecca Hall) is a radiology technician who cares for her grandmother, Andra (Ann Guilbert, cantankerous and hilarious); whose apartment is owned by Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt), who are basically yuppie death pirates. They own a store with merchandise that they, as Alex cheerfully tells a customer, “buy from the children of dead people.”
They are also waiting, none-too-subtly, for Andra to kick the bucket, so they can break through the wall between apartments and create a posh master bedroom.
