Clevercell Very disappointing...

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

gsalovespandas Honestly this movie really let me down and was quite slow moving at times, aside from the billy scenes. But thank you timothee chalamet. A king. Really amazing job on this one, inspirational as always.

ozjosh03 This is a sweet little movie, deceptively simple and light, yet with some surprising hidden depths. It's deftly written and directed, but what really sets it apart are the performances, in particular a beautifully judged star turn by Timothy Chalamet as Billy, a depressed teen, off his meds and surrendering to a crush on his English teacher while on a weekend away for a drama competition. Chalamet is by turns charming, funny, unsettling, heart-breaking and, when delivering a monologue from Death of a Salesman, simply dazzling. It's a charismatic, nuanced, confident portrayal that proves his Oscar-nominated performance in Call Me By Your Name was no fluke. They could have re-named the movie "Billy" and nobody would have thought anything amiss.

osielescalante-59762 After watching Chalamet's impressive work in Call Me By Your Name, I watched Julia Hart's Miss Stevens and I got to say; I was not disappointed.Chalamet once again shows range that of an actor beyond his years. His portrayal of a teenager with mental illness is perfect, with just enough maturity and youthful energy to the role. Timothée Chalamet understands what it means to be an actor, he slips away into the character of Billy, making Timothée's performance memorable.Now, I watched Miss Stevens knowing nothing about Lily Rabe. I discovered her skill as an actress is perhaps just as excellent as Natalie Portman's or Amy Adams. She taps into this very realistic depiction of a young teacher that she depicts with such subtlety; she can break your heart, rebuild it and do it all over again. I frankly find it hard to believe Rabe isn't up with the great actresses of today!Overall, Miss Stevens is not a masterpiece, but it's performances make it sure seem like it. This is the kind of movie you can watch and always be surprised. I can't wait to see more of Chalamet and Rabe.

hjt15 Miss Stevens is a mediocre movie with some nice moments but has an air of itchiness about it. What I mean by that is that it doesn't stand alone as a narrative. You are always waiting for something to happen. Itching for something scandalous. Lily Rabe manages to hold a very controlled and uptight character throughout and you can feel her internal struggles as she navigates the reality that she's responsible for these 3 kids she's chaperoning. I resonate with that moment where you realise you're an adult but you just don't feel it. But sadly it just wasn't quite enough for me. Just too bland and the performance weren't quite strong enough to make them believable. Watchable but not memorable.
