If you loved Last Flag Flying, try Slacker

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Richard Linklater, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Last Flag Flying, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Slacker is

Austin, Texas, here, idles like a cosmic waiting room where ambition goes to nap. The film drifts between eccentrics—one man’s monologue on dreams rouses only a cabbie’s blink, while a hustler peddles Madonna merch with unsettling sincerity. Not exactly a how-to on getting ahead.
