Director/screenwriter Rebecca Miller has fashioned quite a quirky relationship roundelay in this 2023 dramedy as she focuses on a dumbfounding love triangle saved from complete absurdity by the dexterity of the three leads. The plot is convoluted. Stephen Lauddem is a famous composer with writer's block who sleeps with Katrina, a shopworn tugboat captain with a sex addiction, and then writes a celebrated opera about their fast affair. Stephen is married to Patricia, a beautiful Manhattan therapist with OCD and a strange obsession with nuns. There's a parallel story of Patricia's son who is in love with the underaged daughter of the family maid whose husband is hellbent on breaking up the relationship. All the story strands come together but don't emotionally resonate nearly as much as they should. Miller seems more preoccupied with the characters' eccentricities. The star performances compensate. Peter Dinklage plays Stephen with jaundiced charm, while Anne Hathaway shows off a welcome edginess to Patricia. Marisa Tomei conveys a convincing lived-in approach to Katrina that helps ground the movie's somewhat flighty tone.

Peter Dinklage and Marisa Tomei are absolutely fantastic in this film. Their presences on screen, individually and together, demand attention at all times. This even while struggling through a woefully pedestrian script, the expository parts of which are mind-numbingly bland. Thankfully, these two are able to rise above script. And it doesn't hurt that even made to look a bit rough as a tugboat captain, Marisa Tomei is positively gorgeous in her late 50s. But that's about where the praise slows down. The truth is, they are not on screen for nearly enough time.

There are three intertwined stories that never really quite gel cinematically (go see a John Sayles film, Lone Star, or Sunshine State to see this done masterfully). Anne Hathaway is serviceable, but in a role that could be, and largely was, phoned in. One extreme (the kreplach) scene, presumably meant to go viral, doesn't really land. Nor does the rather telegraphed final joke for her character (no spoiler).

But the anchor that drags this otherwise interesting film down is the onerous thread of the star-crossed teens. A bad script with supreme talent (Dinklage and Tomei), leaves a film short of its potential but passable. A bad script with dull and listless young actors is a recipe for an atrocious afterschool special. The ham-fisted symbolism of the father's Civil War re-enactments (isn't that really just cosplay, though?) and the 'futurism' of the teens gets hammered home. There were audible shifts from the audience with whom I watched, as scenes changed from the dynamism of the leads to the lethargy of the teen story. The biggest problem with this is that the audience needs to care about these two young people and their future. And we just don't.

Unfortunately, the three threads are needed to make the story come around full circle in the end. Only one thread is compelling with Dinklage and Tomei. Hathaway's thread had potential but ultimately was just tangential, and the teens' thread was a burden to endure to necessitate the final act. And all this and overwrought opera presentations, not good enough to be worthy of praise, but not quite so obviously parodic to garner laughter. Perhaps that's symbolic of the film itself, middling. Dinklage and Tomei deserved better.

She Came to Me is about an Opera composer and his dysfunctional relationship with his wife who is also his ex-therapist. One day when writer's block has a harsh grip his OCD wife sends him out for a walk, which will change his life forever.

The cast is magical. Peter Dinklage is mesmerizing as Steven (the opera composer) Anne Hathaway plays his wife Patricia, who is perfectly cast as this clinical OCD control freak.

Marisa Tomei as Katrina is quirky, fun, and compelling, she truly is perfection in this role and you can't help but be cheering her on from the sidelines.

If you like films that are offbeat, original, and quirky then this film is a definite must-watch. I really enjoyed it.

I'm a big fan of Peter Dinklage and Rebecca Miller has a fantastic actress eye and pen for drama that's good fun.

This story has 2 very different plots that sort of come together in a clunky awkward manner that some might find strange but it works. The acting is superb by all cast and its premise gets so absurd that it's al list like a NY play that full of surprises.

The only absurd character is Anne Hathaway yet she pulls it off yet there is zero chemistry between them so Marisa Tomei is fantastic with Peter and that story could easily have been the main plot and been a masterpiece.

6 stars and looking forward to more from Rebecca Miller.

When Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway and Marisa Tomei are knocking on your screen, you cant say no. This is a stylish romantic-Drama-Comedy, which includes so many topics and issues that your head might explode during the time you are watching the movie.

Nice? Yes! Entertaining? Yeah, why not? But for a movie with stars from this caliber you expect to be legendary, no less. It is elegant, intelligent (or at least wanna be) and ambitious movie, but the script doesn't align with its leading stars and their appetences.

This movie is trying to touch art, obsession, religion, young love, advanced love, muse and what not? Each subject gets his five till ten minutes, but for so many issues dealt within one movie, it seems that every two issues could have got a separate movie with separate plot.

The movie melts and fuses several plot lines, which are interwoven with one another, without having an actual connection, but once again, the movie still maintains as an entertaining movie, with good texts, performances and even subtexts that are piled up one on the other and hiding an actual message to the viewers.

It's a forgettable movie, not your usual rom-com and the stars of it justifies watching it, just for the sake of watching them get nuts (especially Anne Hathaway in one unforgettable scene), but probably you will forget about it an hour or two after watching it, though it is not so bad.

In quirky drama "She Came To Me" opera composer Peter Dinklage has writer's block, so to break his patterns, shrink wife Anne Hathaway sends him out walking the streets of their native New York - where he meets tugboat captain Marisa Tomei (always likeable), a sex / romance addict who indeed does break his block. As that off-centre plot-line unfolds, so too does one on Hathaway's son Evan Ellison, his gf Harlow Jane, and her folks Brian d'Arcy James (good) & Joanna Kulig (Hathaway's cleaner). Quite what style & tone writer / director Rebecca Miller was aiming for is unclear, but the result is engaging enough, if slightly bemusing. It's certainly 'different', that is for sure.

Good cast wasted as they play characters whose actions and dialogue bear no resemblance to any real human beings.

The film couldn't seem to decide on one storyline and had several. The tone shifts frequently leaving one to wonder what exactly the writer/director was going for.

Anne Hathaway was grating. Peter Dinklage who is typically a strong actor, is horribly miscast. Even Marisa Tomei, whom I usually love, couldn't save this. There was zero chemistry between any of these characters.

When a film with a cast like this gets an extremely limited release and makes no money, there is a reason.

I wasn't expecting much when I started it but even my low expectations were too high for this. Great cast, very good acting from the ladies but the whole story was just too far fetched for me to buy into it. I had to stop it half way through. I didn't feel like this was going to anywhere interesting.

I went to the theater to see this movie recently. I do generally enjoy Peter Dinklage as an actor to name one film specifically, The Station Agent . As well as other appearances. Anne Hathaway i also like in various movies. I also recognized Marisa Tomei in this movie before knowing her name or who she was. Of course spiderman reboot of the reboot. Might have to watch more of her movies. She adds some flare or color to the movie. Could say some dimensions.

I think the three of the them pulled most weight in the movie , little humor and some heart while tangled up with the complexity of love. The other couple was an alright plot . But I liked peter dinklages performance way more.

Rebecca directors this movie well and i think the point is kinda not to understand how love works. I enjoyed seeing the good the bad and the ugly of love / these characters. Well to wrap this up , the movie is worth a watch something to pass time and think about. Im going rate movie 7 based on Dinklages range in the movie.

Composer Steven Lauddem (Peter Dinklage) is struggling to do his next opera. His wife Patricia Jessup-Lauddem (Anne Hathaway) is a therapist. He encounters tug boat captain Katrina Trento (Marisa Tomei). After an afternoon fling and a near-death drowning, he comes up with a new successful opera. Meanwhile, Patricia's son Julian Jessup (Evan Ellison) is dating school mate Tereza Szyskowski (Harlow Jane). Patricia hires cleaning lady Magdalena Szyskowski (Joanna Kulig) without knowing that they are mother and daughter.

This has great actors. It's an indie from filmmaker Rebecca Miller. There are two main stories and their tones somewhat clash. Dinklage and tug boat Tomei and an opera and crazy Hathaway is one wacky side. The other story has a serious drama about underage sex and a racist court system. The movie really needs to pick one or the other. Despite the great cast, the movie never pulls together.

In truth maybe it's more like an eight not a ten, but I have to compensate for the crime of it being rated only a six. It deserves so much more than that!

I love this movie because the characters are strange, and yes okay maybe exaggerated as movies tend to be, but actually authentic at the heart of it. Each of them are laugh out loud absurd, but also somehow remind me of someone I know in various ways. This movie captures how sweet it is to be young and in love. It captures how it feels to think that part of your life is over, and be wrong. And it does it in such a strange and original way. I'm sorry I just love it, start to finish.

I enjoy independent movies a lot. Something that isn't too Hollywood. Stealler cast. Dinklage, Hathaway and Tomeii must be hard up for parts or were paid handsomely. I went into the movie with an open mind but unfortunately I felt like I was in a fever dream! Way too many stories going on without any rhyme or reason and extremely unbelievable and unforgettable. Essentially the teen's storyline. The dog is the only sane character!! I don't know how anyone could label it a comedy? .I gave it six stars for the cast and a short running time. Thank goodness I waited until it was available to stream for free on Hulu.

Wow. This was hard going.

Once again we have the same problem as many modern movies of trying to get quart into a pint pot.

Not much about this works. I like the individual members of the cast but as an ensemble, it didn't work.

All the characters they portray bear zero resemblance to any human being I have ever met.

This might have stood a chance if played for laughs and leaning into the absurdity of the plot. I wonder what this could have been if someone like Wes Anderson, the Coen brothers or an Edgar Wright would have been at the helm. Instead this is played deadpan and just doesn't make the audience care one jot.

The story of a composer with composer's block, his psychotic wife who wants to become a nun, a tug boat captain who loves everyone...including the composer, an egotistical father, and a teen couple trying to evade the law.

What could go wrong?

I didn't like this at first as it starts a little flat, and I wasn't sure where it was going, or what is was about. Hathaway and Dinklage's performances were average, and it wasn't until Tomei playing the tug boat captain came on scene that the film brightened considerably.

The young couple had little chemistry but luckily they didn't really need it, and Harlow Jane played a fabulous part anyway.

As the plot thickened I began to imagine the characters as Disneyesque characters in a fairy tale. And I realised that that is what this film is. It's a modern day, live action fairy tale. Once you realised that, the film is much more enjoyable and like all fairy tales the happy ending left me content and glad that I watched it through.

Started as a 3 and leapt into a 6, the tug boat and it's captain is just genius.

Anxiety-ridden Brooklyn opera composer is stuck with a temporary mental block, even though he's married to his former therapist. Even though it behooves a person of his fragility to have an on-call therapist at his disposal, it still isn't sparking his creative muse. While meandering, he meets and then has a quickie with a deadpan yet sunny tugboat captain out of Baton Rouge who identifies herself as a "romance addict." He can't admit to himself how he feels about this strange mariner, but lo and behold, their casual encounter lights a fire under him. Off-kilter but futile blend of the comedic and the dramatic mixes a lot of subplots together which aren't very engaging, with a group of people hard to care much about, despite the talent at its disposal: Dinklage manages a layered performance and Tomei is bursting with energy, meanwhile Hathaway plays a character who's difficult to even get a handle on. It's never obvious where this is going, and yet it never feels like it matters. **

Gave this a shot based on the decent reviews. Big mistake. I believe I chuckled once at Dinklage's response to a line, but other than that, there was nary a smile. And romance? The writer has no idea what romance is. Nymphomania is neither love nor romance, and Peter Dinklage would likely not be irresistible to anyone (sorry Peter, but neither would I).

I felt nothing for any of these characters except anger toward the one step-father, who didn't have a single redeeming quality. Basically, what is portrayed here are a number of relationships doomed to fail, and the viewer isn't likely to care. In the trivia section for this film, it indicates several other actors dropped out of the project when it was delayed. Lucky them. I should have dropped out half-way through my viewing and tried something else. Not so lucky me.

This was certainly a convoluted and quirky romance story. Peter Dinkledge plays an opera composer who uses real life experiences to drive his storytelling. This time while trying to work through a creative block, he mixes the real world with home life. While married, which is a rather unconvincing marriage, his life crosses the path of a female tugboat captain and she entices him onto the boat. Will she cure his creative block or just send his life into disarray? Meanwhile Dinkledge and his wife juggle a growing fiasco with their son and his girlfriend and her family. Needless to say, there is ample drama to go around from multiple distinctive characters. Solid acting, interesting storytelling and average cinematography.

Well, well, "She Came to Me" sure came... and it sure left me wondering why I didn't just stay home and watch paint dry. This romantic comedy is like a magic trick that somehow turns an A-list cast into B-movie performances. Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei, and Anne Hathaway deserve so much better than this cavalcade of rom-com clichés strung together by the thinnest of plots. Imagine every predictable trope you can-now add a tugboat. That's this movie.

The dialogue in this film feels like it was randomly generated by a broken computer from the '90s. Dinklage's character, a supposedly quirky operetta composer, has lines so wooden you could build a deck with them. And every scene between him and Hathaway is like watching two very charming people read the phone book to each other-with less chemistry. When your movie makes audiences root for the characters to get a divorce, you might have missed the mark on the whole 'romance' thing.

Let's talk pacing: if this film moved any slower, it would be going backwards. It's a series of awkward scenes stitched together with all the finesse of a toddler's first sewing project. The movie tries to juggle comedy with heartfelt moments and drops both on the floor. Watching "She Came to Me" is like attending a stranger's wedding: you don't know anyone, nothing makes sense, and you just keep waiting for it to be over so you can leave.

This film gives me hope that there are still writers/actors/producers out there who understand what I need in a movie. I'm NOT the demographic anymore. So Gems like this are hard for me to find.

The film is unique! With a tugboat, (with female captain) opera theater, (with composer) and a psychiatrist with O. C. D.

I LOVED the characters. Imperfect but well intended characters who each come to a greater awareness of what is needed to be more fulfilled and happy.

This film has heart. It's subject matter about real emotions set in a quirky set of circumstances is very relatable and heartwarming. Reminiscent of good ole fashioned story telling that touches the soul.

Something I desperately needed.

P. S./added edit.....I was unfamiliar with the director, Rebecca Miller. Without making any connections, I had actually seen one of her movies years ago that I thought was brilliant with Daniel Day Lewis. And am now, halfway thru her 2016 movie. She has a very clear point of view. And it's very relatable to me as a woman who has said and thought some of the same ideas that Ms. Miller explores in her movies. I'm such a fan!!! Looking forward to catching up on her past films and hope she has more coming!

When I saw that Anne Hathaway was in She Came to Me (2023), I had a good feeling about the movie. I was also very excited to see Peter Dinklage, who I already knew and liked from Game of Thrones. And I was not wrong - this film turned out to be a good and enjoyable comedy.

She Came to Me is a light, charming story that mixes romance and humor in a very nice way. The characters are a little strange, but that is what makes the movie interesting and different from many other romantic comedies.

Anne Hathaway gives another strong and funny performance. She plays her role with great energy and style. Peter Dinklage also gives a very good performance, showing a softer and more emotional side that surprised me in a positive way.

The film has a warm and positive feeling. It talks about love, mistakes, and second chances, but without being too heavy or too sad. The music and the colorful New York settings make it even more pleasant to watch.

It is not a perfect movie. Some parts feel a little too crazy or too slow, but overall it is a nice film to relax and smile. It doesn't try to be too serious, and that is exactly its charm.

My rating for this movie is a solid 6 out of 10. It is a good choice for anyone who wants to watch something light, funny, and a little bit different.
