Not that I think any of this is astute or very insightful satire but it was refreshing to not know which political direction it's leaning. Sorta fun time but not a must see. Fight scene in the end bumps it up to positive

Well this just healed a little piece of me. I appreciate that Nicole Holofcener is illuminating the little hurts we may feel in everyday life. This story is genuinely helpful for reflecting on our expectations when we ask loved ones for feedback, and inversely, the role we have to nurture feelings versus deliver criticism. Every performance is pitch perfect and the humor was cathartic. A gem.

Love the cinematography, performances, and direction. But the first half was a lot more interesting than the second.

As expected Wendell and Wild’s animation is super creative and the music is great. But I hate to say it was kind of a mess. It becomes very plot heavy and it’s evident in the last act that it had way too much on its plate as threads are rushed to their resolution. When the protagonist tells us how she grew in the end, it made me realize how much we lost her on the journey.

It set up the delinquency / reformation theme well with the characters but stops at just telling us that it’s against private prisons. Good for you I guess?
