By his own account, the 30-year-old Harmony (Justin Rice, looking all of 19) grew up "with limited access to mental health." And for the duration of "Harmony and Me," a low-fi comedy of sulks and self-pity, he will try to prove it... (The New York Times)

(Rewatch) A lot better than i remember, in hindsight it's pretty much just a semi-successful warmup for Somebody Up There Likes Me. The biggest flaw is probably that the sub-Swanberg aesthetics just aren't the right match for Byington's peculiar humor.

Can't stop thinking about crazy dog lady describing the plot of COMA to him while he's in a coma including Genevieve Bujold's "gratuitous shower scene...with Michael Douglas 'cause she's like, fighting over whether she gets to use the shower first 'cause she's had a hard day and he's had a hard day and whatever." The ellipsis in there is when she says "HE'S not ugly" while chewing on her shirt belt to coma'd Harmony about this cute doctor who is later revealed to be a kind of a douchebag.

Bob Byington's world is a funny place to hang out in, and this effort has plenty of dry (but not cheap) laughs at Harmony's expense but without any mean-spiritedness. The cast is uniformly strong, and the use of diagetic music is terrific.

"A mumblecore-ish debut feature from writer-director Bob Byington that's far less interested in oblique conversational navel-gazing than in dry humor." - Nick Schager

One third of the way in, I knew this would develop into an incredible film. Byington's script is much better than his previous effort, "RSO". The humor and performances stay sharp and new from beginning to end. Justin Rice's performance particularly struck me; that guy's eyes are as blue and beautiful as the ocean. Oh, the score is another definite highlight. The music created within the characters' universe is wonderful, much like the film itself.

Byington's humorous—and very musical—portrayal of Harmony's insufferable post-breakup wallowin is mostly ironic fun, without the more empathic portrayal and realism of its mumblecore brethren. Dry, incisive humor is the game here.

Not bad at all, but also not good. So, not quite average. Rice is probably the weakest of the cast; it's easy to see why Corrigan, Karpovsky and Offerman went on to bigger things. But for me, Keith Poulson as the 'don't give a shit' teenager is the highlight.
