Why this pick
Its loose, naturalistic scenes and quietly charged friendships capture the same feeling of adults testing the boundaries of commitment without turning the relationship uncertainty into melodrama.
Why this pick
A deceptively casual getaway becomes an intimate, funny, emotionally thorny chamber piece, with improvisation-flavored conversation and shifting romantic loyalties akin to Digging for Fire.
Why this pick
Like Digging for Fire, it finds suspense and comedy in an ordinary couple entering an unfamiliar domestic world, using social discomfort to expose their unspoken desires and frustrations.
Why this pick
Its offbeat Austin atmosphere, unhurried rhythm, and messy adults searching for a more satisfying life make it a sharp companion to Swanberg’s warm, uncertain relationship comedy.
Why this pick
A grounded, observant romantic comedy about middle-aged people negotiating attraction, baggage, and self-sabotage; it shares the tender humor and lived-in conversational ease of Digging for Fire.

01 / THE STORY
Lee (Rosemarie DeWitt), a yoga instructor, brings her husband Tim (Jake Johnson), a gym teacher, and their 3-year-old son Jude (Jude Swanberg) to house-sit in a client's house for a few weeks while the client is away. While walking around the property, Tim finds a gun and a bone in the backyard. At first he wants to dig up the surrounding ground to see if a body is buried there, but Lee convinces him it is a bad idea.
