A young woman's (Olivia Thirlby) arrival sparks a surge of energy into a laid-back, artistic Los Angeles household, forcing the residents to confront their own fears and desires in an intricate dance of lust, denial and deception.

This dreary independent drama is essentially an art-world soap opera, but without the melodramatic verve that makes some soap operas interesting.

2/4

What we have here is a household ripe with seduction, lust, betrayal and repression, all kept below the surface by increasingly strained good manners.

...a self-important nightmare ... shallow script and boring situations. Perhaps that is the simplest way to sum up the film, boring. Offensively boring.

Nobody Walks may be a guilty pleasure. But the pleasure of its empty calories is tangible in the heat of the performances, the lush visuals, and a sound design that riffs on the story's central conceit...

Full of humor and humanity, Nobody Walks is an emotionally complex, acutely observed and sensual film and one of the best at Sundance this year.

A bushel full of familiar indie-film devices held together by honest writing and charming performers.

Literally awful. Pointless movie that just makes you feel sad and bad the entire time. No conclusion to the array of issues. And I don't know whether to like or hate the main character. She seems like a spoiled brat that has sex with every man she runs into despite that the men is with or married to another person, one of which is letting her stay in her own home. She does not think sex or affairs are a big deal and doesn't get attached emotionally to anyone and can't understand why everyone is bitter toward her. Seriously wish I could get that hour and a half back.

Horribly pointless indie film. Skip this turd.

Interesting exploration of how people use each other in subtle ways, and whether it is actually using. The female lead receives a lot of drama for basically taking what is offered, but can you blame her? The sound and characters create an engaging atmosphere. It does feel directionless in the end because it doesn't make a definitive comment on its dramatic situation, but instead presents it in a more neutral way, which is interesting but can be unsatisfactory.

This was so much like a french film. Sexy, edgy, but with an english ending. Quite funny all the rather obvious cases of divorce going all at once. Many breakups. I liked the whole thing and the acting was very fetching.
