Swanberg's experimental and scrappy little movie is filled with interesting insights as we watch a middle age actor playing a variation of himself. While he is seems determined to prove he not only loves his career and his life -- it isn't long before we notice this is not the truth of "Uncle Kent" As we move through his week, we not only see the awkwardness and unease intensify with each interaction -- we can almost feel his loneliness edging toward isolation. This film is far too observed to be dismissed.

Sexual realism and likable characters help move Uncle Kent into tolerable mumblecore waywardness, although it lacks any semblance of the accessibility and more polished directing of later Swanberg editions.

I'd really never knowingly watched a mumblecore film before. The films seem to inspire strong feelings (one way or another), which sort of mystifies me since this film seemed so slight ... entertaining enough, but barely there. Kent Osbourne of "SpongBob SquarePants"/"Adventure Time" fame seemingly plays himself. He meets a much younger girl on Chatroulette, she comes to stay with him in LA, he tries to sleep with her and mostly fails. I was engaged enough to watch, but nobody seemed like a real person which seems wrong for such a lo-fi enterprise.

i love this movie,its so humorous and witty and fun.I love the fact that sex and sexuality is involved in it and it's so raw and uncut and i think that's why i love Independent movies because you can be as raw and crazy as you want. I love it!

Un filme sobrio que juega entra la narrativa lineal de un documental y los propios encuadres del protagonista. Sencilla y honestamente esboza la soledad del à (C)xito a medias y las frustraciones internas que existen en lo que se supone que esta el amor y el afecto desmesurado producto de una sociedad desbordante de comunicación fría.

me gusto, si bien no es tan atrapante me llego y termino gustándome bastante más de lo que esperaba.

extremely indie production. There isn't any great points being made. You just have characters linked by natural dialogue. I liked it. Could have used some polish. This kind of indie (pointless) is the reason most stay away from this kind of things. With some sharpening of his tools Joe Swanberg could actually have made something from this.

Smalltime indie film that, if nothing else, perfectly captures the frustrating impossibleness of being a man.

it's not a Swanberg flick without some gratuitous penis.

Uncle Kent was a surprisingly intriguing movie that had me guessing from start to finish. The style the movie was filmed in was nice, it was a mix between a normal on looking camera and then it would switch to the main character using his flip-cam to record personal footage. The story was interesting and very realistic of something that could actually happen. It was funny, quirky and even though at times it moved slow it was all to set up the characters and plot and it all worked out good in the end. The ending was kind of sudden and pointless but O well, I enjoyed it and this is another reason why I enjoy picking random, unheard of movies....there are plenty of gems out there people never give a chance.

This might just be me at 40.

Mumblecore greatness.

This mumblecore film was hilarious, but definitely not for everyone. The film is available on demand via cable.

"Hi, where have you been all my life?" may be learned behavior, but it always sounds good up close... [A] sense of life-just-happens and what-the-------just-happened, those instants just before cheeks flush and unwelcome memories etch.

Uncle Kent is much too intriguing to be discarded as merely twee, softcore hackwork.
