Carrie Pilby (2016)

This character is very similar to me.

People with high values are always angry.

find her perfect even though she has had bad experiences i love those movies that are in winter and fall.

i really enjoyed it.

Fmovies: Every year I see some films at the Toronto Film Festival. I usually avoid American films, but this year, Carrie Pilby had an intriguing premise and, what the hell, the Cohen brothers and Alexandre Payne are also American and they make excellent movies. So I decided to renounce my no-American films prejudice and ... I got to regret spending 2 hours and $22 that I will never get back. As I said, a very interesting premise - an exceptionally bright young woman's quest for fitting in and for finding her way. It was such a lost opportunity! Mediocre acting (I have seen better in sitcoms), hardly any character build-up, formulaic situations with formulaic and oh-so-predictable resolutions. In order to remind us that the main character was extremely brilliant they made her drop names (Kierkegaard, Camus and Salinger) and mention in passing that she reads 20 books or so in a single week. Other than that, she did not come across as bright or, at least, special in any way, even if they made her speak with a British accent. It was such a mediocre, run of the mill, formulaic, predictable film that they did not even miss the chance to lecture us - insistently and at a great length - what constitutes an acceptable sexual relationship and what does not. (Don't get excited, no nudity.) Oh, and in order to use all cookie-cutter trademarks of an American B movie, they also had some cool and oh so cute guys hitting on our genius girl. Sigh! PS: If you are into sugary romantic flicks, do watch it, but don't spend $22 to see it at a festival - they have these movies every day on most TV movie channels.

After leaving the theatre without being moved to feel something memorable from the past three blockbusters I've seen, I'm happy I stumbled upon this movie while it was playing in LA. Not only did I love it, I didn't check my watch once, that's saying something. And, what more do you need to say when a movie makes you feel great? Nothing!

Carrie Pilby fmovies. if you want to spend a good time forget the Hollywood blockbusters based only on special effects.

the script is good and the actors perfectly tuned.

Not a masterpiece but a small jewel.

highly recommend to spend a good evening on a positive note

This film tells a story of an nineteen year old Harvard graduate, who is cynical and insecure about herself. She isolates from the world and is angry about everything, until her psychiatrist asks her to go and do a list of things that hopes to transform her.

"Carrie Pilby" is a portrayal of an interesting character that is different from the usual girl next door. She is intelligent, pretty but highly guarded from the outside world. The story is about her trying to make sense of the world around her, which is not complicated to most people but unfathomable to her. It is satisfying to see her change and develop in just over a week. It is a sweet little romantic comedy to kill time with.

I saw this movie at the Arclight in Chicago last week, knowing nothing about it. I found it to be charming, intelligent, observant and very layered. Bel Powley seems like a force to be reckoned with, and there wasn't a weak link in the cast. I recommended this film to my 62 year old parents, and my 17 year old twins, and everyone loved it. We've now bought the film On Demand as well. Go see it!
