Killing Mary Sue

This is pure fun. I've worked with Mr. Sunshine before and I love his deliberate uncomprimising sense of humor. I'm a huge Dermot Mulroney fan and where else are you going to see Dermot, Jake Busey and Martin Cove in the same film? Sierra McCormick plays Mary Sue and makes her believable - which is no easy task in this delightfully nutball romp. She kills the action scenes -- reminiscent of Kick Ass but with her (and Sunshine's) unique vibe. This is an action movie with most of the action shot in camera and therefore has that wonderful tender loving care feel of the movies I love. See this film and enjoy!

"Killing Mary Sue" was such a fun journey from beginning to end. The story keeps unfolding in unexpected ways, constantly surprising you. There are some surreal moments that really elevate the dark comedy and make it even funnier and more exciting. It's sharp, well-written, well-directed, and the performances really sell it. Definitely worth watching-I recommend it!

I had the opportunity to watch this movie with an audience and people were laughing and having a good time, it's not a serious movie it's silly and absurd and just entertaining great great performances from all the actors, lots and lots of fun. This film is unique nothing like anything I've seen before from start to finish keeps you interested it's the kind of movie you can watch more than once... happily. The main character who plays Mary Sue Sierra McCormick does a great job as does Martin Kove and Dermont Mulroney and Jake Busey all phenomenal performances and all the actors and actresses whose names you don't know did great jobs as well thoroughly enjoyed and was entertained from start to finish.

I had the opportunity to see the movie at the Big Apple Film Festival in a completely packed theatre in May. The film received an incredible reaction from the crowd, myself included. It was fun and funny - the film seemingly does not take itself seriously one bit but then sneaks up on you with an unexpected sentimentality. Lead actress Sierra McCormick gives a 10/10 performance. I also loved the soundtrack, including music from band Can't Tell You, which suits the plot and the opening scene exceedingly well for those who take the time to listen to the music and lyrics. I'm super excited to watch again now that it's available to stream!

Writer, director, Editor James Sunshine has a carnival in his head and he's put it all into this fantastic movie. Centering around an unwitting yet apt female hero, this movie will make you laugh out loud and make you cover your eyes from the horror, all in the same 10 seconds. This movie is very well cast with the likes of Martin Cove, Dermot Mulrooney, and Katie Killiacky, supporting-the breakout performance of actress Sierra McCormick as Mary Sue. This film won best picture at the Los Angeles independent film festival just last month, and I predict we'll be seeing big things from this director in the future. Very well done!
