I loved this movie. The main character I found captivating and I was on her side from the start. I have an interest in the subject of relationships, and the way the therapy was used was really interesting; The issues with boundaries were actually quite realistic, as was her distress at her absent father.
Not a comedy, nor a drama, this film has surprised me a lot. The characters are quirky and likeable, the story may be considered a coming-of-age tale, but it's so much more. Give humanity a chance and yourself, too, that's the lesson. And beyond that, a very relaxing film that's humorous and touching in unexpected ways.
This movie really captures a person floundering through life and finally coming into their own. Most people go through this at some point in their life and this makes the film very relatable to the average person. The story flows nicely and the main characters are well rounded. Overall, a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
A socially awkward, highly intelligent teen, is trying to find some happiness in the world. All the bad reviews seem to yearn for a caricature, so absolutely awkward and intelligent they can barely function in the real world. Unfortunately for them this is far more realististic. Just a person not quite in sync with the real world trying to find their rhythm. This a sweet, feel good movie. It has real heart, you know that because your automatically connect with the main character. It's lovely from start to finish.
A very underrated film,so quirky and ,eventually,romantic.
A small understated film like this only works if the writing,direction and acting are first rate and ,wow,that sure is the case here underlined with a killer closing line.
Wonderful film,enjoyed it so much,proof that films of this ilk can still be made .

Carrie Pilby: There's a perfectly good reason I don't have any friends. Friends are people. And people are dishonest, ingenuine, and let's face it, not that smart.
