I liked it too. Nice to watch a movie that's not depending on the action and the scenery to be entertaining, Well written dialogue, good performances by the three main actors and (and the secondary players). (And since it's set in 1970, fun to see the old set props, like the in-wall sound system at the party.)
It reminded me in some ways of "The Squid and the Whale", or maybe somewhat "Paper Chase"; i.e., a very well-done character development film in an academic setting. Plenty of humor and plenty of touching, heartfelt moments.
