Clairevoyant

I feel like this is completely my sense of humor but that... a lot of people who watched it and said "you either love it or hate it" don't usually watch this type of movie. It's clearly low budget which is fine but it was very sparse, and not just the mise-em-scene but the plot too. It really could have had a little bit more stakes. I'm thinking SAFE by Todd Haynes. I wanted her to join a cult or something, she was the perfect personality type. The ending was pretty cool though, and the conversation with the mother was also great. It was pretty good, hopefully these guys can get more funding cause they might be able to do something cool.

This mocumentary is about a rich and spoiled brat becoming "spiritual" in a sea of "enlightened sharks"!

Many similar vlogs are available, so, in a way, this one misses the target for me... repeating the things which we heard before!

The movie sets the typical indie/homemade movie mood.

Viewers are introduced with a girl making a documentary about her journey of becoming the light beam she feels the need to be - so she goes through the spiritual/religious path.

The story line itself is not the most unique or interesting, there are many stories of "girl becoming the better herself" , however, the execution perhaps brings the movie something. Wouldn't say it's something new, as the YouTube is already full of vlogs that are like this "documentaries about spirituality".

Comedy? Well I felt like the movie is more like a satire (commentary on the "white rich girl in LA") than a comedy with some typical "ackward yet lovable character going though a great journey". The jokes were sometimes flat . Maybe it is the time and era we are in, but the jokes about ignorance, not being able to separate different religious people etc. Seem a bit offensive. There are some jokes to better not touch if they are not executed with enough respect and attention.

Acting? Actors did good, I sometimes believed some of them, however sometimes the main lead overdid some emotions, as if the aim is to gain attention, but that might be the characters description as well.

Why hasn't anyone made a movie about this until now!? It seems like such a no-brainer, but De Larroch and Wittman brought to life an idea that was asleep in the collective unconscious, only temporarily untouched by cinema. So many lines reminded me of things I've heard other people say, or have even, unfortunately at times, been guilty of myself. Claire was so cute and the actress has impeccable comedic delivery. I'm so glad I found this little gem!

This is the kind of movie you either love or hate...it is not for the faint of heart. Very fun/ quirky film. Can be seen as offensive, but a breath of fresh air. I think Wittman is a great actress along with the rest of the cast. It will have you wondering if it's a real documentary. Sweet story with lots of laughs along the way.
