Director Lynn Shelton's new movie "Laggies" arrives in theaters this weekend. It stars Keira Knightley as a 28-year-old woman in Seattle named Meg.

She has what Shelton calls a quarter-life crisis, as all of her friends follow the path into marriage, children and home-ownership.

Shelton spoke with MPR News' Euan Kerr about the film.
