Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
naadey Thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautifully written & feel good feeling
svonsawilski Joy, the protagonist of the film carries the other characters when they can't make things work. She makes things work for all of them and us. This process is refreshingly unique in that she constantly thinks on her feet and resolves situations with surprising results. The suspense of the plot allows the audience to be involved in not only her journey but those of her family as well. Encouraging everyone to reach out for that special gift.
Clifton Johnson Russell's films have always teetered between eccentricity and storytelling, but the balance was off here. There's a compelling protagonist and plot, but somehow we're spending all our time on random conversations with quirky supporting characters. The humor and soundtrack say Russell, but the flow is missing. Lawrence (and the cast) almost make it work...almost. But I never really managed to care. That's not about the substance; that's about the storytelling.
Seller7862 This movie isn't about a mop.Nor is it about feminism.Nor is it about the QVC channel.The movie is about not giving up, and trying to realize one's potential.I noticed that most of the reviews weren't about the movie, they were personal attacks aimed at the director.For those who say, "The movie has no plot." Biographies aren't plot driven like fiction films. They tell stories of events that actually happened. And yes Hollywood dramatizes those events.The reviews on IMDb should convince you not how bad this movie, but how angry people get when they are stuck with a low IQ.
