Tall Girl

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.

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.

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.

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.

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