A very good and original film. It works on two levels. First it is a fantasy film but it is also a strong film about finding yourself and, finding your place in this world and facing your own past. The screenplay was excellent and one of the most inspired and original screenplays in a long time. I am surprised it did not get more attention. Its radical, its funny, its sad and full of little twists and excellent character development. Anne Hathaway is giving a great lead performance. She nicely acts against her own image and gives her role Gloria a lot of life and plays her extemeley natural. Jason Sudekis was also good in a rare serious role. I loved how they went with his character and how it transformed throughout the whole film. The effects were excellent considering the low budget of the film. The soundtrack was good, the cinematography and editing worked very well and created an excellent atmosphere. I liked that it really took time to introduce and manage its characters. Good film, very underrated.
Current nominations:
Best Original Screenplay
Rating: 8/10

I can truly recommend that movie. Its frustrating still so much from 2017 i need to see I actually just saw Wilson. That one was a disappointment for me… lots of potential but wasted.

The movie is good when it is being subtle; Hathaway and Sudeikis are both really great as these two people damaged by their drinking, seeking to drown their hurt in what they know will just give them more pain. But the fantasy device of making the alcoholism an almost literal monster frankly didn't make any internal sense. I think that if the movie was rewritten as a straight-up character piece without fantasy elements, it would be one of the best of the year. As it is, I find it only okay, simply because the fantasy makes the film's points far too on the nose.
