Asantewaah 06/11/2024 Loved it! Love seeing Rachel Sennott in these dramatic roles where she truly shines! She’s both hilarious and serious and it’s perfect. See more justme T @talaa Jan 20 honestly the whole movie was amazing i was feeling sams emotions i was devastated with her even though i didnt know why and the lead up to what happened to her was amazing in the beginning i kind of accepted the dad (i didnt like him but i was okay towards him) but then when she met his cop friends i started feeling weird. brookes character describes he feeling of being left behind and how u lash out hurting everyone around u for attention because u need help she didnt like being left behind but she couldnt voice it so instead she lashed out calling sam a liar even though it was clear that she wasnt. the whole movie spoke to me and its my first five stars in a while.

Rachel Sennot is a really good actress See more BRizz 2 @TheMovieSearch Jun 22 🎬 Movie Review: I Used to Be Funny (2023) ⭐ Honest Thoughts. No Sugarcoating. Whenever I watch a film that gets sky-high scores from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, I get intrigued. I check the audience score, I look at the buzz, and I think, “Alright, this must be something special.” But more often than not, especially with movies like I Used to Be Funny, I’m left wondering: Who are these critics really writing for? Let me be real — because that’s what I do. I’m not here to dance around the truth or boost up a movie just because it got praised by some artsy circle. I’m here to judge films fairly, the same way I would if I were picking Oscar winners — and most of the time, let’s be honest, the Academy doesn’t exactly reflect what the public loves. This movie? It was poorly written. The script was overloaded with dialogue — and not in a clever, character-driven way. It was excessive, flat, and lacked rhythm. It felt like anyone could’ve scribbled this out in a notebook over a weekend. There was no tension, no spark, no visual storytelling. Just endless scenes that dragged on with people talking, talking, talking — and saying nothing meaningful. The story had no real hook. No creativity. No emotional core to hold on to. It was supposed to follow this girl’s life, but it never gave us a reason to care about her. Nothing about the structure or pacing felt cinematic — it felt like a rough draft that someone decided to shoot anyway. So, no — I don’t care if critics said this was a masterpiece. It wasn’t. We’ve got to stop pretending that something is brilliant just because it’s “different” or “deep.” Being vague and overly talky isn’t the same as being powerful or profound. 👉 Bottom line: This movie was boring, uneventful, and painfully overwritten. Let’s stop giving out gold stars just to impress other critics. Let’s be honest about what works — and what doesn’t.

The central message seems to be "we're lesbians because men are awful " See more Read all reviews
