Unlovable

The movie was not 100% true to life but it did a great job of poking fun and being lighthearted about such a serious subject. The director realized we should all have a sense of humor about our troubles if we're going to manage them in a healthy way. This film was not meant to be an exacting portrayal of the subject matter nor a film that allowed for Academy Award performances. Drama with comedy is like that. I thought the actors and actresses did a stellar job with the roles they performed and it was a semiserious, funny/quirky, yet heart warming movie. There's good in all of us and it's easier to see if we're not consumed by our problems.

I've been wanting to watch this film for a long time now. I needed something to watch desperately this Friday evening and it got released on Prime.

I've randomly found Charlene's Xanga back in the day and was so instantly drawn into everything about her. She's very witty, honest, and original. She had this natural beauty inside and out and I've been a fan girl since.

I enjoyed everything about this film. They sure know how to make light of dark situations. I love the dark humor and the music in the film. I definitely believe in platonic friendships and how they can help save people. Throughly enjoyed John Hawkes and Melissa Leo, perfect castings and characters for the story. I'm just shocked I didn't start sobbing.

I hope Charlene continues acting. Such a raw exhilarating talent.

I happened to get the chance to watch the 2018 movie "Unlovable" from writers Charlene deGuzman, Sarah Adina Smith and Mark Duplass in 2020. I hadn't even heard of the movie, but still when presented with a chance to watch a movie I haven't already seen, I usually jump at said chance.

I didn't know anything about the movie, much less whom was starring in it. Nor did I even know what genre of movie I was in for.

Turns out that "Unlovable" was really a nice movie, and a very enjoyable movie as well. I found that the story was rather good, because it definitely felt realistic and had some very nice aspects to it. There are definitely things in here that people in the audience can relate to.

What really impressed me was the acting performances. Now, this was my first time to witness Charlene DeGuzman on the screen - or at least take notice of her. And wow, she is definitely talented, and carried the movie phenomenally with her performance. And John Hawkes was really nicely cast for the role of Jim, and he brought a lot to the movie with his performance and music, I will say that much.

"Unlovable" is a movie that sticks with you after you've seen it, given the combination of a proper and memorable storyline, but most certainly also because of some strong acting performances.

I was genuinely taken aback when I sat through this movie, and I must admit that I was really enjoying the story and the movie as a whole.

My rating of "Unlovable" is a seven out of ten stars. I can definitely recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch this movie from director Suzi Yoonessi, as it is very entertaining, enjoyable and it is actually a beautiful movie.

I was sceptical about the movie before watching it, I thought a serious matter like sex addiction could not be seen in a fun way. The movie actually proved me wrong and even though I would have liked to see a bit more of psychological depth to understand the whole love and sex addiction concept better, the take on this was quite innovative and optimist in a way. Loved Charlene's performance, the movie pushed me to research more about the actress and once I found out that the script is based on her real life experience, I can now see how authentic it is.

This is a cute, funny, honest, heart-warming, relatable film, an enjoyable 1 hour and 20 minutes. The way mental health is dealt with in this film is refreshing and realistic.
