if you want to spend a good time forget the Hollywood blockbusters based only on special effects. the script is good and the actors perfectly tuned. Not a masterpiece but a small jewel. highly recommend to spend a good evening on a positive note

Well, that is an hour and a half of totally wasted time. There is no point to this movie, no apparent plot, and certainly no script... just a very very long hour and a half of random scenes - and far far too many extreme close ups of Bel Powley. The woman cannot act. Her emotions range from whiney to petulant to out right annoying. No romance. No character development. No empathy for any of the characters. Just annoying whiney scenes

This movie was good to me because I cared what happened to the main character, Carrie. And, this is usually a sign that a film was well written and acted. However...the young male actors in this film, and a plethora of other ones, these days, continue to believe that they do not have to make themselves clear. That is, they are sloppy about pronunciation and enunciation. English (and in this one, Irish) actors and stage players seem to understand the concept of speaking slowly and clearly so that the audience does not have to guess at the dialogue. Where is the training of actors in this regard? Do young people think it is "in" or cool to speak as though they had a mouth full of rocks? Respectfully,

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.

Loved this movie! Quirky, fun, sweet and a great watch! Excellent cast and a wonderful, warm, well written story. I was thoroughly charmed by the whole movie. Bel Powley did a beautiful job of portraying Carries complex character and she was complimented with an amazing cast of Nathan Lane, Gabriel Byrne and Jason Ritter.

Carrie Pilby is supposed to be a hyper intelligent but socially incapable 19-year old. You learn this within the first 5 minutes of the movie. After that starting scene it appears everybody forgot about those characteristics except for some "super intelligent" quotes she recites. She is far from socially incapable, makes absolute standard if not above average smalltalk and flirts with all guys below 50 years the movie has to offer. There is not one scene where it is of any relevance that she is super intelligent. She even behaves super dumb when it comes to her intelligence and brags about it like no uninvented intelligent person would do. Clearly noone involved in the making of this movie ever had to do with any high intelligent person. The main actress just plays flirty clumpsy hot chick like you can find in any high-school movie. Please stop making these pointless movies that are foreseeable and lack humour in every joke.

This character is very similar to me. People with high values are always angry. find her perfect even though she has had bad experiences i love those movies that are in winter and fall. i really enjoyed it.

A better film than I thought. What I thought was seeing how it was received. It was based on the book of the same name, directed by a newcomer. A coming-of-age film, about a 19 year old smart girl, but struggling in the real world since finished her education. Particularly, she's having a trouble with her father in communicating. Not that she's incapable of blend in with the rest of the world, but she's preoccupied with what she's interested in. Now her therapist hints to make a list to accomplish things than the dull life according to him she's presently living on. During her attempt, what are all things she go through was told in the remaining narration. Bel Powley was brilliant in the title role. It was more like a sequel to her previous film 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl'. Like it was the next stage of her story. Between adulthood and teenhood, at the edge of teenage. Apart from her, the rest of the cast was decent. I usually like this kind of films, but they are all same. Developed from the basic storyline that we are very familiar with. In that perspective, this is not an impressive film, especially if you have seen plenty. Even though not bad for watching it once. Since the characters, cast and settings differ, besides the presentation was good, it surely a nice film to watch alone in a lazy weekend. Probably under- appreciated, but definitely an under- noticed film of the year. 7/10

A breath of fresh air. A bit of a Salinger's catcher in the rye in it. Infused with good values and so a drop of a bit of an antidote to an increasingly cynical society. Feel good and a pleasant hour and a half.

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 .
