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.

Tall girl is a movie about a tall girl. Thats the movie, and don't you dare forget it. My favorite part was when the protagonist, Jodi, was tall.

Some turns the movie takes are a bit annoying, and the score is too noticeable and tiresome after a while. But otherwise I actually liked it for the most part in its first hour or so. It's an innocent little teen comedy and I don't see too much wrong with that personally. However, most things toward the end are unforgivably kitschy and cringey which really brings the whole flick down by a lot. The performances, even if by people who mostly didn't act much or at all before, are very solid. Tall Girl overall is so surface level and just not good enough, even if it has some honestly good flashes of a kinda nice movie. On a sidenote I gotta say Maggie Rogers' Light On at the end was such a nice surprise, but the song was edited weirdly which sort of fits this whole movie. It could have easily been so much better, but simply wasn't in the end because of odd choices in the script which made the flick feel silly by the time the credits started to roll.

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.
