Decided to knock some more films off my lonnnnggg to watch list.
With a name like Unicorn Store, I figured this one can’t be too heavy or triggering.
Where #UnicornStore mostly hits right, #MrRoosevelt, also #2017, tries way too hard and mostly misses.
It's not authentic, very derivative, and formulaic.
A couple of now-familiar actors (#BritLower of #AppleTV's #Severance and #DaniellaPineda of #Netflix's live-action #CowboyBebop) giving good performances can't overcome this flick's numerous deficiencies.
Only good for mindless viewing.
#UnicornStore, #2017, directed by #BrieLarson is a #quirky, #fun, and #whimsically odd little #movie that borders on, but avoids, being overly saccharine at times.
It has some really nice moments throughout, including an unexpected and unique style of #humor that combines and contrasts with more #naturalistic parts, all interspersed with the #fantastical and #surreal.
Plus #SamuelLJackson!
Overall, I found it very appealing and quite deeply moving, imperfect and silly as it is.
