Oh, Amanda.

Quirky whimsy, but aside from a few laughs and interesting storytelling choices, there was not enough heart. Plotless. Amanda might have Borderline Personality Disorder, she tries to force a friendship with a similarly but differently neurodivergent girl, while also trying to secure her first boyfriend. Surreal scenes, quirky little things like having her AI address her as "Sexy Mamma", her irregular friendship with the housemaid, and a horse she connects with better than humans, some witty dialogue. This is no spoiler except to say that there is nothing to spoil. Because the synopsis is all that it is. By the end, we are still unsure whether Amanda has finally found a new friend; everything is too unstable and surreal to say for sure.This is Carolina Cavalli's directorial debut. The potential is here; her talent is evident. Her other contribution was as co-writer-but not as co-director- on "Fremont", which was significantly more engaging and successful. Anticipating Cavalli's sophomore directorial effort, here is to looking forward to her directing skills matching her writing caliber!

6.7/10. Recommended.

It doesn't deserve this 81/100 METASCORE, but it's a good movie as long as you know what to expect.First 20-30 minutes were the best part of this movie, humor was dry and subtle, it was weird in an interesting way. Something like a 90's/00's indie offbeat comedy movie without the pretentiousness. Then, it became more of a drama, comedy element was reduced and it was a bit less interesting. Still, actors were good all the way, characters were likeable at least for me, and overall, it never got boring. This is a story of a girl with some mental issues and her struggles she has to face in her life. I am a man, 20 years older than her but still, i empathized with her. I think this is a movie for all the audiences, male and female, regardless of age. It's offbeat and kinda sweet. Not a movie that i am gonna remember it after 2 weeks, flawed, losing a step during the second half however if you find it interesting as it was described, i think you'll like it as well.Not a great ending but satisfying.
