It's a fairly small movie, made for $133k, but has gotten a fair bit of press. It's the kind of movie you want to share with other people like you know something they don't know, so I thought I'd pass it along here. Just to give you an idea:
97% on RT:

8.6/10 on IMDB:

Click on Archive and then scroll down to the movie title. They just rave on and on about it.
Bottom line, it's like a musical, except they never break out into song when they should just be talking (they only sing when they're playing music for a "reason"), and the music is incredible.
