Anger rages in Philip as he awaits the publication of his second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley, and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip's idol Ike Zimmerman offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject: himself.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
If Philip showed a bit of personality beyond being a boor and a bore, he might be worth almost two hours of attention.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
13 Nov 2014
fresh:
Perry's acerbic sense of the literary/academic lifestyle - which, oddly enough, involves less actual writing and teaching than drinking and "thinking" - is both exceptionally funny and deeply sad.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,
6 Nov 2014
fresh:
Why would anyone want to spend time with these people? Because they're fools with great gifts, and Perry almost lovingly explores the gulf between the beauty with which they create and the smallness with which they live.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
30 Oct 2014
fresh:
Written and directed by Alex Ross Perry, Listen Up Philip looks like the kind of movie film classes would study in the 1970s.
– Richard Roeper,
Chicago Sun-Times,
24 Oct 2014
fresh:
But while you'd think audiences would barely even register a cad any more, two new movies - 'Listen Up Philip' and 'Force Majeure' - resurrect the breed with leading men who are almost impossible to empathize with, but compelling nonetheless
