Frances Ferguson

I'm not familiar with the director or writer, but I hope to see a great deal more of lead actress Kaley Wheless in the future. Her facial expressions speak volumes, and she manages to telegraph a whole attitude with one angry, simmering glance. Her character is nihilistic and beyond caring. I feel like there could definitely be a backstory, but then it's already clear where her life had gone. How she decides to deal with it is what the film is about. Funny, and certainly worth a watch.

Hats off to this team who was unafraid to explore some hard topics, then to not back away from the controversy that has found its way into the media in the past couple of years. With an incredibly sharp script, an amazing lead performance, and lots of familiar faces (and voices) popping up throughout, it's a fun ride and always keeps you thinking about the way we and the people around us carry public perception.

I got to watch this movie last year in Italy at a small film festival in Torino. It's nice to see Amazon supporting this kind of work. I think this kind of movie needs to be seen with an audience, but still held up watching it the second time from home. Nick Offerman tends to make me laugh.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but this kind of comedy works perfectly for me. The nihilistic behaviour of the main character Frances Ferguson is a delight to watch. Very good job from Kaley Wheless playing this attractive sex offender. The subject might be controversial but to be honest I think most of the males fantasized about their sexy teacher at one point. That said the story is what it is, to me it was funny, and adding Nick Offerman as the narrator for this movie is probably the best move you could do. He has that kind of soothing voice that is very pleasant to listen to. I'm a big fan of Nick Offerman since watching Parks and Recreation, and even if you don't see him physically in this movie he still has that funny input just with his voice. Frances Ferguson is a simple but effective comedy.

My film club screened this movie today and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The movie is a very original, dry comedy with lots of offbeat,funny narration by Nick Offerman. And Kaley Wheless is terrific in the lead role. I took the film as a satirical story of a lost-in-life twenty-something female. Many of the side characters that Francis meets are also very funny.
