Little Con Lili

If the opening of this film doesn't grab you, then I don't know what will. The 80's nostalgia is super fun, and so well done that you are transported back in time. The characters are so endearing that they immediately have you rooting for them. Amazing storytelling and art design. I want to see more of this world and these characters and a lot more from this upcoming writer/director.

I loved LITTLE CON LILI. It reminded me of myself growing up. It was both nostalgic, sweet and funny. The acting was strong. Music was fab. Directing was nicely done. There was great attention to detail. A feel-good sweet story that everyone can relate to.

I watched Little Con Lili at the Women in Comedy Festival presented by HBO this past May. It was one of 10-15 shorts that played and it was my absolute favorite! It also won the NBC Best in Fest award, so it was a favorite all around. It was so cool. As other reviewers have said, the characters are endearing. The main character is so sweet you just want to go on this journey with her. It reminded me of my own experience as a child. The film made me feel a bitter sweet nostalgia for my own childhood. The young girl playing the role of Lili was phenomenal. Really talented actress. I liked the production design and the costumes too. It was all very 1980s working class but without being "too 80s hip" it was all just right which is what made it feel so real. Great directing as well. I also really liked the contrast between the young girl's carefree after-school world with the mother's real life- working class problems. I thought the editing was nicely done. LOVED LOVED LOVED the way music was used in the short. And the credits were fabulous, they were like a nice dessert to a lovely meal! This short left me feeling good after watching it. Made me feel good about the essence of childhood, of being both naïve, and quick witted. Really sweet film. Well made!

Set within the nostalgic decade of the 80's, though "little" be in the title, this film is mighty! Made me laugh, cry, and I never stopped rooting for the characters. A truly heart-warming, dynamic, real, and relatable story. So happy to see such a unique female-driven narrative like this told with such conviction. Perhaps a TV series could be in the works? We need more of Little Con Lili!

Best movie ever! Took me back in time. Love the music and characters gave me all the feels. A movie I can watch over and over again. Love everything about it.
