[6.6] Sweet hope

A marvelous, touching, emotional and funny movie with great acting by the writer, director and talented actress who embodied her character believably, touchingly and smoothly.It has important messages, never gets you bored, never let you down and surely is not for everybody.I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Recommended to women who struggle emotionally in life.Screenplay/storyline/plots: 6.5Production value/impact: 6.5Development: 7.5Realism: 6.5Entertainment: 7Acting: 7.5Filming/photography/cinematography: 7VFX: 7Music/score/sound: 6.5Depth: 6.5Logic: 4Flow: 7Comedy: 7Ending: 6.

Rotten eggs

The SINK. The modern feminist single income no kids story, of a woman who never grew up and in the end never does. There's a few laughs in the beginning but in the end you see she's selfish, entitled, schemed money out of her family, meddled in the life's of exes and others, and took it all as a part of her journey. The movie offers no moral championing for overcoming obstacles or becoming a better person, or even making an opportunity to make it into a good joke. Instead they make an entire drawn out 30 minutes of the main character feeling sorry for herself for all the bad decisions she made.

A modern feminist fairytale told LA style

There is something quite admirable about Scrambled. And that is its ability to depict both the positives, the negatives and the reality of walking the tightrope of life trying to balance, being a singleton, a partner, a friend and a success whilst remaining true to oneself and not conforming to societies norms.As a first time feature director, Leah Mckendrick does a good job of balancing all the strands of a complex story that is also well written by her.There is also a strong supporting cast, it remains consistently funny until the film becomes more emotional in its third act.If I had to have a gripe or two about the movie I would say that the male characters are mere stereotypes but then given the prospective audience for the film I don't think it is significant. Also the end conveniently finishes before the end of Nellie's story is over. Did it work? Will they ever be used? Will the outcome lead her to revisit her life so far, her female emancipation or her choices that she never seems to to take accountability for that have lead her to this.Not sure why it bombed at the box office, I would definitely recommend it as worth a watch.
