“There are many issues that arise when adapting a novel to the screen. In the Russo’s case, the issue was the structure and overall style of the film. For it’s five part structure, showing the intertext of each chapter of Cherry’s life, simply didn’t work in this case. It was incredibly jarring for the tone of the film to shift during each transition into the next phase of his life. It also felt like the Russo’s were pulling scenes from their favourite films like Full Metal Jacket, Memento and Jarhead. It just felt incredibly messy and overstuffed with references to other films. The Russo’s attempted to show how harmful and addictive drugs can be, in a very brutal way, and I can commend them for that.

“This film shows the perseverance and ambition in achieving the American Dream. Grayson had been poor her whole life and in her eyes, the only way to gain more of a financial status is by cheating the system. #RosamundPike was perfectly cast as Grayson, no one else could have played this role. Pike has mastered the role of a morally conflicted woman, with a flawed perception of society, who eventually executes the ideas in her head, in a very disturbing way. Sure, Pike only has Amy Dunne as a character that can be referred to, but Marla Grayson is in that tier performance wise. If Pike is so good delivering these roles to us, then why don’t we have her in more films that center on a layered protagonist such as this one?

“You may think the star of the film would be the squirrel with superpowers – Ulysses is pretty cool – but Lawler’s performance is what held this together. The film may have dragged on a bit at certain parts but her hopeful, compassionate spirit is what carried the film. Within the first couple of minutes of meeting Flora, you will remember what it is like to be a kid again. Flora had a love for Incandesto and comic books. She loved superheroes because her dad was a comic book artist and she learned a lot from him. She applied the hopefulness and love from these comics to her everyday life but soon realized that reality wasn’t quite the same.

Here’s your reminder to watch When Harry Met Sally tonight 😘

“Barb and Star have a really sweet friendship. They have been living together for a while now and are inseparable. They wanted to explore the world and have some fun because they got bored with living the same cycle over and over again. What is so wonderful about Barb and Star is that they are so optimistic and upbeat! If you are a fan of #KristenWiig’s #SNL sketches, the humour is kind of dry and awkward but it will have you laughing at how off-the-wall some scenes are. Their chemistry was great and they created a memorable duo.

“What is so wonderful about this trilogy is that it brought life back into the genre. For the past three years, LJ (#LanaCondor) and #PeterKavinsky (#NoahCentineo) have grown together BUT they have also grown as individuals. This film also takes you back to your senior year and how stressful everything can be. Their relationship is put to the test but they never fail to be absolutely adorable with each other. That’s the magic Lana Condor brings to the screen, so the way Noah Centineo looks at her is totally relatable. Condor holds this film together. She has carried the trilogy from the very beginning because of her spirit.
