Luke G Apr 28, 2019 Terrible movie. Story was terrible. Acting was worse.

Theodore R Apr 28, 2019 Yeah, we get it, men on the internet are cross at Brie Larson. It's a bit thin, but it's weird and sweet and a perfectly good way to spend 90 minutes on a Sunday evening. See more

Finn L Apr 28, 2019 Brie Larson's attempt at an insightful indie film was a valid one. The plot is one that is very simple. It takes the approach of a character in our regular world being involved with some sort of magical fantastical person and easily switching between the two settings. Brie Larson does not make a good main character to me, unlike our sidekick who is incredibly funny while still being plain. The tone is most likely the most developed part of the film, both the world and the store itself are both very clearly set with opposing tones and it makes the contrast very stark. The big problem is that it is not interesting. The concept of a weird failure of an art student finding her way does not really work well and the emotional scenes seem to fall flat because of the premise of the film. Samuel L. Jackson was wasted (but he looks fun). See more

George S Apr 28, 2019 Silly and sweet. Larson, as always, is very good and Mamoudou Athie is also charming. Don't expect to be blown away, just settle in for 90 minutes of charming fun. See more

Albus R Apr 28, 2019 I think this script was meant to skirt a parody of Manic Pixie Girl trope, to be so over the top that in no way anyone would take it seriously. Brie Larson took it seriously and it feels she plays herself in this. Her down to earth directing style does not fit this story, which is already to childish and naive for the women in the age group of the man character (I assume they were the target audience here, but the movie is in itself too childish for them to enjoy). Coming from art school myself- Kit would be ostricised for being stupid and having little talent and dropped by school within a year- which is the most realistic thing about this movie. Can't relate in the slightest to her character. (BTW, off topic, art school is hard. Anyone thinking that's good place for rainbow weirdos with big egos who like to draw- think again. Especially when you pass out after week long bender from oil media fumes.) See more

Kylo P Apr 27, 2019 It was cute enough. It felt like it wanted to appeal to INFP/ENFP, but didn't quite have the authentic spark.
