    Had no expectations, yet this movie met all of them.

    I had never even heard of this movie before clicking on it (I've recently fallen in love with Michael Cera and searched his name on Hulu in a desperate attempt to find something other than his more popular films such as Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Superbad, or Juno.). I went into it expecting nothing, but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie follows four people in New York City over the course of one day, each facing their own unique trials. The movie is definitely on the edgy-artsy-indie side and has that certain awkward and uncomfortable air around the characters and dialogue. It was interesting throughout the entire film. I was surprised when it ended because I was so captivated that it felt like it just started. You'll never guess what'll happen next. If you're looking for a happy ending with a complete resolution, this isn't the movie for you. The characters don't really have a complete wrap up and round off except for Benny. It leaves you slightly dissatisfied, but I still enjoyed the movie. The characters are all extremely lovable and relatable despite how odd and unique they are. The movie was well executed.

    Rare that a movie makes you feel more human

    This movie made me laugh, has great, memorable characters and a terrific Michael Cera performance. What more do you want? For the right person, the movie is as simply satisfying as a Sunday morning.

    Aquired Taste

    I can definitely see people being bored with this movie. I've seen a lot of movies like it that fail miserably and are relentlessly boring. This film is different. I liked ALL of the characters. They all carried a distinct persona despite limited screen-time and are very relatable. Each person is layered and genuine, none of whom are wholly good or bad. The humor is subtle yet gratifying and conflicts are handled maturely.

    In a sense this movie connects all the disparate parts of the self: the quiet and anxious Abbi, the desperate showoff in Cera, the gloomy brooder in Ray, the arrogant insecure teen in Wendy, the insecure lovestruck teen in Melanie, and the passionate local "hero." Nothing feels forced or contrived. I can definitely see myself watching this many times in the future. I honestly didn't mind the lack of action and drama because I just wanted to sit with each character.

    I can assure you I'm not a paid shill either. This movie isn't for everyone, but if you give it a chance I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Throwback to when movies were allowed to be simple and speak for themselves

    Throwback to when movies were allowed to be simple and speak for themselves.

    Of course today this movie is going to miss the mark for most people but us older folk who can appreciate a simply good movie that has a simple stories to tell and are able to let it play out will APPRECIATE it. Some characters grow. Some, well some do just the opposite.

    Several story lines which appear to be in complete different directions. But are they? I dont know if writer/director would want to hear this but if you like Woody Allen storylines and old school feel, without the uptight anxious sensation, then you should give this a try. Sorry to the writer if he get this a lot.

    Good actors in a bad movie.

    The actors did good if you look at their individual performances. They're acting and presentation of their roles is really nice but it was all let down by a very weak story.

    I felt that the makers of Person to person tried too hard to make an anthology (?) which would be super plain and blow people's minds....but they missed.

    I don't know what it takes to make a good anthology movie because I'm not a writer or director but this isn't it.

    I started watching for the actors and finished it for them too. The story doesn't have the strength to keep you hooked.

    Some bland and simple movies make you feel human and that's what was unsuccessfully attempted with person to person.
