Overly familiar but endearing nonetheless, this coming-of-age indie from Alexis Dos Santos is most likely to appeal to those who recognize themselves in the story's lost heroes.

Reviews for Unmade Beds
The conventions of contemporary youth culture and cinema could both use a change of sheets.
Despite some missteps (a parachute metaphor is particularly belabored), the film has an intoxicating quality.
Exudes an exuberant energy as Dos Santos keeps coming up with different visual styles and sounds, with a terrific soundtrack, to signal the longing for connection.
Unmade Beds, with its occasionally twee chronicling of pogoing in funny hats and heart-to-hearts between NSA lovers, portrays its seekers as planets aspiring to bubblehood, or at least one tandem leap into the void.
A minimalist drama about two newcomers to London searching for love in all the wrong places.
Has a lively, romantic spirit that recalls the playfulness and spontaneity of the French New Wave.
