Could Hannah be the next Lelaina?

If one is bored, and one enjoys movies, one should go watch movie trailers.  While I’m sure there are many places to see trailers, I go to apple’s site, which holds a pretty comprehensive collection of upcoming/currently in theater selections.

In one of these periods of trailer watching, I stumbled upon this little gem of a trailer for the film Hannah Takes the Stairs.  Check out the trailer on Apple Trailers for high quality, or YouTube for easy embedding.

I have  to admit my heart did a little flutter, for a number of reasons: 1) Boy did I identify with the main character.  Not that there are films lacking confused twenty something post grad students, but I haven’t seen one so focused on how confusing LIFE is since Reality Bites.  Could this film be the Reality Bites of my generation?  Is Hannah the new Leliana?  2) The truly indie filmmaking style struck me as stark and real and really really admirable in a time where the Theaters are largely dominated by CGI enhanced films such as Pan’s Labyrinth, Transformers, and 300.  This isn’t going to be a blockbuster, this is going to be a small film that really touches people.  3) Yo, these guys aren’t moviestars.  They don’t LOOK like movie stars.  I won’t watch the film and think about who they’re sleeping with in REAL life (if you can call it that).  They look like people I know, people I’d be friends with.  4) I really really want to see this film.

I’m a huge fan of Reality Bites, and if this film comes anywhere close to being as good as that one is, then I will be ecstatic.  I have my fingers crossed that it will have a scene comparable to this famous one:
