Person to Person

I had never even heard of this movie before clicking on it (I've recently fallen in love with Michael Cera and searched his name on Hulu in a desperate attempt to find something other than his more popular films such as Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Superbad, or Juno.). I went into it expecting nothing, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie follows four people in New York City over the course of one day, each facing their own unique trials. The movie is definitely on the edgy-artsy-indie side and has that certain awkward and uncomfortable air around the characters and dialogue. It was interesting throughout the entire film. I was surprised when it ended because I was so captivated that it felt like it just started. You'll never guess what'll happen next. If you're looking for a happy ending with a complete resolution, this isn't the movie for you. The characters don't really have a complete wrap up and round off except for Benny. It leaves you slightly dissatisfied, but I still enjoyed the movie. The characters are all extremely lovable and relatable despite how odd and unique they are. The movie was well executed.

This movie made me laugh, has great, memorable characters and a terrific Michael Cera performance. What more do you want? For the right person, the movie is as simply satisfying as a Sunday morning.

It took me a minute to get on this movie's wavelength, but I started really digging it about halfway through; I think it was the bike chase that ultimately won me over, or maybe it was the progression of the Michael Cera / Abbi Jacobson relationship. Since finishing the film, it's only grown in my estimation. It's a scrappy, messy, funny, quiet, insightful indie comedy that I may still be underrating.

The actors did good if you look at their individual performances. They're acting and presentation of their roles is really nice but it was all let down by a very weak story.

I felt that the makers of Person to person tried too hard to make an anthology (?) which would be super plain and blow people's minds....but they missed.

I don't know what it takes to make a good anthology movie because I'm not a writer or director but this isn't it.

I started watching for the actors and finished it for them too. The story doesn't have the strength to keep you hooked.

Some bland and simple movies make you feel human and that's what was unsuccessfully attempted with person to person.

I was intrigued by the trailer and looked forward to viewing Person to Person for quite a while. Perhaps it's my fault for having high expectations, but this fell completely flat.

I love Woody Allen movies. For whatever reason, I expected this to be rival some of Allen's recent work with witty, humorous dialogue that goes by quickly with a smart theme. Person to Person includes neither. It's empty, illogical, and boring.

This may sound like a compliment, but I mean it in the worst way possible: The movie flows like a mixture of a Todd Solondz movie mixed with Jim Jarmusch. However, it lacks the awkward sleaziness of Solondz and the uniqueness of most Jarmusch films.

The story follows multiple New Yorkers throughout one day - this has been done before many times and more successfully. Michael Cera and his story shines while the others relentlessly drag on. I lost interest in every other character pretty early on. The writing is mediocre and many of the actors struggle through the corny lines and story-lines.

In short, the subtle tone here falls flat. I really wanted to love Person to Person, but it's simply boring and insignificant.
