Thompson not only makes an appealingly [gawky] protag but, crucially, nails the trademark stutter that, no less than the movie itself, is one-of-a-kind. 

whose clothes are wrong, and who is as [gawky] and [geeky] as it is humanly possible tobe. 

Noé [purportedly] [relished] the severe reactions provoked by screenings of Irreversible -- walk-outs, cat calls, and the like -- which would only make sense for a person whose ultimate goal is to create the cinematic equivalent of [car]-wreck gawking. 

Green does try to [leaven] the proceedings with a love story between two gawky teenagers (Michael Angarano and Olivia Thirlby), but it's not a clear thematic complement to the main story, and is lacking what the rest of the film has in spades: conflict.

If you don't stop gawking [at] me and get the hell out of here, I'll kick your ass.

What are you gawking [at]? Well, I ain't gawking.

dunce

Fernando Ray makes the uncle a poignant [dolt] and Francisco Rabal is aggressive and realistic as the illegitimate son.

Ritter very amusingly conveys Dad's [professorial] fatuousness,

A cockney berk by the sound of it! You Liverpool ponce.

twerp

an insignificant or despicable fellow

Since we like Gerald, the guy who answered the personal ad, and think [Etienne] is a twerp

and Christensen plays Glass as a manipulative [twerp]—there's no excitement to his subterfuge,

All in all, this twerpy [little] movie is one of the most entertaining pictures to be released so far this year.

You would, you grungy little twerp.

The word indie is so [self]-consciously quirky, twerpy, and wimpy.

nebbish

obtuse

not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellec, not sensitive or observant, dull 資質駑鈍是也

While the film's outcome is obvious to all but the most [obtuse] viewer an hour into the work, the conclusion takes a while to wind its way to the end. 

I don't have any new information [about "The Master"]. I really mean that, I'm not being obtuse. 

Where their contemporaries were often direct and to the point, Tindersticks were obtuse and leisurely, crafting dense, difficult songs layered with literary lyrics, intertwining melodies, mumbling vocals, and gently melancholy [orchestrations].

Some critics found the film obtuse on its release, but the Academy thought enough of it to nominate Duras for Best Original Screenplay.


benighted

overtaken by darkness or night

intellectually or morally ignorant, unenlightened 

benighted ages of [barbarism] and [superstition].

Bonjour Tristesse was codirected by Otto Preminger, who'd previously discovered Jean Seberg for his [benighted] 1957 [filmization] of Saint Joan.
