Tall Girl

This film tells the story of a tall teenage girl who struggles to fit in because of her height.

I really really like the film. The theme is to come to terms with your insecurities, and it presents this in a spectacular manner. Everyone has their own insecurities, therefore it easily connects with people. The love story is beautiful as well. The ending is touching and it made me cry. I love this film.

Now, it wasn't amazing. I can see the argument that it's kind of out dated. But I will say I disagree that 6'1 isn't tall. I don't know what average heights (and shoe size) are where y'all live, but I'm only 5'8 and I get comments on how tall I am. I don't get made fun of but just pointing out how 6'1 is definitely tall here in sunny California. I don't think I know any one that tall and I would definitely notice at my school. Now over all, I think the movie was cute and entertaining. It wasn't like revelation or groundbreaking, mostly just repeated lessons of self worth that you see in most movie like this. But still, I enjoyed it.

Severely underwhelming coming of age film with some really strange choices at times re: parental shame, Cesareans, and stalking friendzoned chumps that can't take a hint.

Choppy edits, poor takes on the "mean girl" trope and no developed relationships between anyone. Surface level and cringe.

Swedish accent was also atrocious.

Little redeeming quality apart from picture and audio quality, which is a given from Netflix.

I mean, it wasn't bad... but I feel like they didn't quite catch Jodi's personality. It was mostly people telling us how amazing she is, but all we see is her being down or whinging about something. I would have liked to see the more caring and "fun" side. It was stated that she was "fun" a few times, but where was that?? It was very choppy in a few bits. Like there were scenes missing that could have added to the experience. There was one part, though, that made me a bit mad, and that was the caesarean part. I haven't had one myself, but that was incredibly offensive to millions of women. It's as though they were made to feel ugly for bringing life into this world and something that usually comes from an emergency. Not cool guys. The rest of the movie was average. In saying that, it was a nice, easy watch when you want to just turn off the brain and watch a Netflix teen romcom.

When a young gay falls in love with whole passions and all what he's cares about is you are happy and enjoy
