POSITIVES:
-Female director at the helm
-Diversity
-Jenny's "LATINA AF" shirt
-LaKeith Stanfield's presence
-Rosario Dawson's presence
-Reliving a relationship through flashbacks
-Erin, an African American lesbian, who doesn't like heteronormative labels
-Easily found on Netflix
NEGATIVES:
-The characters: I really found it hard to relate to the girl who screwed a guy for concert tickets. Also, the film was heavy on the need for alcohol, weed, and Molly as if the lives of the three girls revolved around that. The characters were pretty shallow. It seemed like an effort was made to make them as diverse as possible racially and sexually; otherwise, there was not much to them.
-Too many pop culture references failed to make this movie stand…
While not all of us have gone through breakups similar to the one depicted in Someone Great, there will be many aspects of the film that young women will relate to. As both writer and director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson was able to achieve what most films don't bother to – she created a crew in which the majority are female, and she told personal stories while casting women of color in leading roles. She created a film that has way more substance than your typical romantic comedy that Netflix produces. Someone Great is just as much about women supporting women as it is about a woman finding, choosing and loving herself.

A film conceived, produced, and constructed by a buzzfeed quiz tumblr woke twitter supercomputer, in which not one character is allowed outside their set-type of upper-class millennial discomfort. Oh boo hoo! Is this what Netflix, otherwise known as one of many 'Big Brands', thinks of millennials? Comfortably lost in their Social Media and Journalism jobs, upset with their long-term relationships they haven't paid attention to because they're too busy having the Time of Their Life at their Place of Employment, all surrounded by 'feminism' decor purchased off of Redbubble and Etsy, consumed by their materialistic tendencies of virtue-signaling? What a happy-go-lucky late-capitalist dystopia, let me go renew my subscription, Netflix, all while their twitter account celebrates the gender politics…
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson really just made this movie so she could put Phoebe Bridgers and Mitski in the soundtrack and I respect it
One of the only really good rom coms to come out in the last 5 years or so. Keeping the Lakeith Stanfield character at arms length and letting her figure it out as she roams New York pretending she’s okay was a great little deceit. This movie is also just FUN. Loved the Jaboukie part that guy is hysterical.
Loved seeing the WlW rep in here and the how Jenny went through this relationship after her break up.
she should’ve gotten him with the mail key.
girl power all the way get those bitches with the mail key
