Hadn't written any review for years, this movie irked me into writing one.

Imagine a movie where not one character is likeable. The storytelling is full of annoying clichés, trying to create the vibe of an Edgar Wright&Simon Pegg collaboration but comes nowhere close.

The story itself is quite interesting, it takes something to turn this story into a boring movie.

It was a very poor movie that I do not recommend watching. Every participant comes off looking bad. (the director, the writer, the actors et cetera) Trying to fill this review with enough characters while trying not to be too harsh.

It's been some time since I wanted to write a review. This little episode did it for me. What a sweet little piece of work! The leading actress is so vulnerable and sweet, you can't imagine the role with anyone else (Try imagining Jennifer Lawrence with it, it messes up the whole thing because it feels she'd be too rigid and strong for it to work.) There are certain works I see that evokes the word "lifelike" in me. This is one of those. I don't want to overpraise it, just the right amount. It is lifelike and I liked it.

I'll be suggesting it to my friends.

I mean not to sound sycophantic but any document that has noam chomsky talking for 80 minutes is a valuable one. Gondry is an awkward guy which is fun to listen. They get along well. Noam is, as always, insightful and inspiring.
