After being suffocated by so many well-made but unoriginal independent films at Sundance, "Baghead" is like a blast of fresh air. It has warmth and innovation, and the mischievous good sense to subtly make fun of the type of film that it is.

And what type of film is it? It’s essentially part of the “mumblecore” sub-movement, featuring hand-held cameras, semi-improvised dialogue, and directionless hipster characters in their twenties. It’s the work of brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, whose "Puffy Chair" beguiled film festival audiences a few years ago and is well worth seeking out on DVD if you haven’t seen it.
