    Sweet

    A very sweet little movie about life and the little things that matter, it just an enjoyable and chill experience and that's always great in movies, it makes you revaluate your life, you need to change your life and do better ok, its for your own good ok, dont get mad i i know its hard to accept it.

    The story and relationships beetwen the two female leads is a great one, if made me remember of those old movies about mom and daughter, we don't have movies like that anymore, a shame it's overall a good little enjoyable movie to watch with your family and love ones or maybe alone if that's your things.

    Basically, a growing up at age 28.

    I am a big Karen Gillan fan, I have watched all of her movies that I have been able to find. Also her outstanding stint on "Dr. Who." And she is so talented, with a great singing voice, as she demonstrates briefly in this movie. I probably would have enjoyed this movie if it had a different actress in the lead role but it would not have been as good.

    Here Gillan (in her early 30s) is Louise, a 28-yr-old who it seems is having a hard time accepting adulthood. As the movie opens she is on a second story apartment ledge, with too much booze in her she falls hard and ends up in the hospital. She has a broken hip.

    As fate would have it she is temporarily in the same recovery room as an older, difficult Polish woman who does not speak English. They immediately detest each others' company but Louise needs an income and the older lady needs a caretaker. That developing relationship is what the movie is about and in the process Louise learns responsibility and how to grow into adulthood.

    Not great movie, I didn't enjoy all the scenes, but overall I found it to be enjoyable entertainment, particularly because of Gillan, she is superb! And her song near the end is really great.

    At home, streaming.

    Unexpected quirky treat

    Multilayered drama full with emotions that range from humorous, sad, sorrowful to those of unfulfilled love. Karen Gillan as Louise, is a perfect personification of a late 20's lady reeling after a breakup, and whatever happens in the film, she is the centre of the story. You will notice that, as the movie goes on, you find out there's a lot more to her. Heartache that extends beyond a straightforward breakup has impacted her life and everything else is interwoven into it. We are brought into her life and the feelings she has because of her past, helping us to understand her friendship with an elderly woman who speaks Polish only - all this adds quiet emotion to the narrative, but creates simultaneously the subplot to the main story, as well. The unspoken magic of connection between two unlikely characters makes possible for the anxious Louise to teach the old woman Antonina how to move into the future while missing her past. All those characters feel essential to bring every single feeling to life in the numerous film scenes while assembling the puzzle of life full of hidden love.

    A real gem. Quietly charming. Positive msg but not saccharin.

    A sweet movie with solid performances from all the cast. If your idea of a good time involves stunts and superheroes then this may not be for you.

    It's just a quiet slice of life type of movie. Probably appreciated more by women. I found the Alzheimer's storyline very moving. At its heart it is a story of mothers and daughters.

    I must have liked it a lot because I went to the trouble of logging in to IMDb for only the second time in ten years and what a blooming palaver that was.

    What more can I say. Give it a go. If you don't like it after twenty minutes then turn it off. I liked it a lot.

    You very likely need this movie in your life.

    This movie kills and everybody is fantastic in their rolls. I immediately want to see a follow-up cause this is my life. Malgorzata Zajaczkowska, when she hits the dance floor in her red dress and that song hits, it sinks me, that chance to just feel free even for a moment, so very inspiring. Such good choices of music, everyone did amazing and I hope to see these actors in their future endeavors, I love this movie. Karen is such a great actor for this gen, smart, funny and damn real. Happy to see movies like this I can relate to. Someday my superpowers will manifest but in the meantime, I really enjoy movies that both point out my stuffs, yet inspire me to be greater and find the happiness within simple circles. Happy!!!
