My Effortless Brilliance on AllMovie

A successful and self-absorbed novelist makes a belated attempt to mend his fractured friendship with the lifelong buddy who unceremoniously sent him packing years ago in this drama from director/screenwriter Lynn Shelton. Eric Lambert Jones was a terrible friend, so bad that his childhood friend Dylan wanted him out of his life altogether. One day, while traveling across country on his latest book tour, Eric drops by Dylan's picturesque Washington state home in hopes that their friendship can still be salvaged.
