A Light Enjoyable Comedy
This movie follows the small distractions and issues which hinders an artists preparations for an important art show. Despite her many frustrations she tries to go with the flow and prevent the situation overwhelming her.
I found the characters quite engaging with the interactions between them genuine in an easy going way. The movie also delves into the world of a busy art college. It show the many different art forms and the unique students engaged in numerous classes and projects. It also looks at the unique relationships within a family of successful artists. The movie also touches on mental illness and high expectations affecting potential geniuses.
This is a pleasant movie and a good change from other high intensity films. It is a great movie when you are in the mood for something light. - smokemidi - 2 January 2024
Showing up is enough
It took me a few weeks to digest this movie, which is profound considering how quiet and reserved it is. This film will resonate with creatives and dreamers alike; people who battle finding space and time to make their art amongst the seemingly mundane and frustrating daily activities.
As a former Portland resident (I lived a few blocks from Lizzy's house) I got nostalgic instantly. The pace of the movie feels indicative of a summer in transit.
I was sad to see so many negative reviews, which is partly why I felt the need to share my thoughts. There is beauty to this film which I hope people can find on a closer look.
Also, Andre 3000.
