A Spell on You

This is a slow moving, but painfully honest, story of young and not so young people who are trapped in their lives in modern Britain, which is in full transition to a very different present than than that known by their parents and grandparents.

I should have known when the synopsis said "she isn't altogether sure who she is" how this would go. This 25 year old girl is beautiful and a little shy, but not painfully so. But other than that, she doesn't seem to have too much going on for her.

We see her walk through several situations including dates with men, but way too much of the movie is daily routine often with a musical interlude behind it. The situations she does have may be mostly realistic, but they are a sad commentary on her life. She truly finds out that "Men are s___." Can't say the acting was good, although Georgia Maguire was OK. The production was adequate.

A slow moving and instrospective look at the life of an attractive, somewhat innocent and naive young woman who works at a claustrophobic digital marketing agency full of unlikable narcissists, jerks and crazy-pants. Nothing much happens during the film aside from work and relationship drama but Georgia Maguire is delightful to watch as she wanders through her day-to-day life looking for some sign of confirmation that she's on the right path.
