Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This small teen romance has the snap and crackle of early Doug Liman movies (Swingers, Go) and a charm all its own.
Set over a single night, it's about a meeting of souls that was meant to be: Norah (Kat Dennings) is the gawky daughter of a top music impresario, while Nick (Michael Cera) is the geeky bassist of a high school band who's heartbroken after being dumped by his cheating girlfriend. But the mixed-tape CDs he made for his ex, complete with exquisite artwork, touch a chord with Norah, who believes he might be her "musical twin". There's a lot of chasing around nocturnal New York in search of her best friend, some fun with his broken-down car (a possession that always signals "personal integrity") and a few coincidences that feel way too cute. But you'd forgive it much else just for the playing of sweet-faced Cera and dark-eyed stunner Dennings.
