Went in unsure (due to the frankly annoying trailer) but came out smiling from ear-to-ear. This is funny, moving, dark and refreshingly original. The cast really make this film stand out; Paul Dano again shows himself to be a great actor, toying with characters who are complicated and at times quite unlikeable. For me, the star of the show was Zoe Kazan, who stars as the title character but also wrote the screenplay. Her talent is clearly displayed in this feature and I cannot wait to see what she does next. In short, this is one of my favourite films of the year.
I am ashamed that it took me five years to see this truly fantastic piece of cinema. I was unsure at first: I had heard nothing but well-informed gushing’s about this film. I was not to worry it turns out. I thought it was confident, very well paced, looked stunning, had terrific performances and a cracking soundtrack. Although, with no intention to offend or belittle his talent but, does Brad Pitt seem to play very similar characters in most of the films he acts in? Overall, a great film.
