[[caption-width-right:350:It's Always Rainy in Portland]]
A 2010 "mumblecore" mystery film by Aaron Katz. It was a critical darling at the South by Southwest film festival.
Doug is a forensic school dropout who returns to his hometown of UsefulNotes/{{Portland}}, Oregon. There he lives a fairly aimless existence, living with his sister, hanging out with his co-worker, and generally doing...nothing.
That is until his ex-girlfriend mysteriously vanishes from the hotel room she was staying in, leaving only enigmatic clues.
Finally putting his detective skills to use, Doug takes a leaf from his [[SherlockHolmes idol's]] book and starts to investigate the disappearance.

!! Tropes present in this work:
* AmateurSleuth: Doug, though it is established that he was studying Forensic Science in Chicago so he's not a complete amateur.
* BrotherSisterTeam: A low key version. The film is as much about Doug and Gail working and chatting together as it is about the mystery.
* ChekhovsGun: Doug's switchblade plays a key role in the film's climax.
-->'''Doug''': I told you my knife would be useful.
* EurekaMoment: The solution to the number code found in the hotel room comes to Doug as he miserably tries to hit homers at a batting cage.
* FilmNoire: The film is a unique blend of neo-noire and mumblecore.
* GillianCut: Doug refuses to interrupt his sister's date despite the insistence of Carlos. Guess what the scene cuts to?
* NoEnding: Once the brief spurt of action dies down, the film just...stops.
* TheUnreveal: While [[spoiler: Doug does eventually locate Rachel]], the film leaves several other questions up in the air. [[spoiler: Who was Jim Warden? Why did he steal the briefcase? What was the money originally for? Where did Rachel disappear to? Why was she asked to transport money from Chicago to Portland?]]
