I bought the film "LOL" on DVD a few years back knowing nothing about it. After watching it, Joe Swanberg became my favorite American director. The Chicago native makes simply amazing movies and all have been good (except for "Alexander the Last" which was only ok)
Here are his films in order from my favorite to least favorite:
1. Night and Weekends
Amazing! definately his best work so far.
2. LOL
Not as good as Nights and Weekends but my first Swanberg film
3. Hannah takes the Stairs
4. Alexander the Last
I have not seen his 1st film "Kissing on the Mouth" yet.
Swanberg is also an actor (he is going to be starring in Adam Wingard's upcoming "A Horrible Way to Die") and is the creator of the popular web series Young American Bodies.
I love this guy!
