    Hurts on Unffitable 30yo Millenials
    Some films doesn't necessarily need to be a masterpiece to deeply touch you, and that's the case here. Coming-of-age movies are much more about when it gets you watching it, than the quality of itself. Yet it's neither a brilliant plot nor superb direction, it captures the essence of 30yo-millenials' challenges. Julie's got no solid paths in life, as society would expect her to, and faces the usual pressures make over someone who assumes we doesn't have to keep up social expectations. As "The perk of being an Wallflower" hit me hard back when I was going to College, this will trample you if you're a 90's kid.

    Unusual
    There were things that I really loved about this movie. My favorite scene, when the whole world stands still when she seeks out her new person. I thought the depiction of that was just beautiful and poignantly accurate to the feelings that accompany that situation.

    I was engaged throughout the movie, finding the characters and situations interesting and compelling.

    What didn't work for me, was that I ultimately didn't love Julie or root for her. Yes she is perhaps a complete human with faults and more than one dimension. Still, I just thought she was possibly narcissistic and lacked compassion.

    Also, I thought the ending was unclear. We went on an emotionally turbulent ride, and were dropped off in the middle of nowhere with no idea why we are left there. At least those are my feelings.

    Still, worth a watch.
