Qwerty is a film about lonely concepts of people and their quirky exploits. I use the term “concepts of people” to illustrate the type of picture that director Bill Sebastian and writer Juliet McDaniel attempt to construct. Zoe (
Dana Pupkin ) and Marty (
Eric Hailey ) are defined in broad strokes, providing the audience with two lead characters who haven’t much depth beyond their set of indie-inspired eccentricities. Much like the recently acclaimed Safety Not Guaranteed, the characters and construction of Qwerty fail to resonate as anything more than a hodgepodge of half-baked Sundance film festival pictures.
