A drama that follows three adults during a single day in New York, one filled with sex, drugs, and indecision.
Acting
Reeves' whispered detachment—possibly acting, possibly just Keanu.
Cinematography
Grimy NYC dawn light that makes 4am feel like a character.
Writing
Dialogue so natural it barely registers as scripted.
Director
Mark Mann
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The working title was 'Generation Um...' with the ellipsis literally spoken aloud in meetings, reportedly annoying everyone.
Mark Mann based the structure on 'Slacker' but inverted it—three people instead of many, one day instead of wandering. The result feels more claustrophobic than liberating.
