A better film than I thought. What I thought was seeing how it was received. It was based on the book of the same name, directed by a newcomer. A coming-of-age film, about a 19 year old smart girl, but struggling in the real world since finished her education. Particularly, she's having a trouble with her father in communicating. Not that she's incapable of blend in with the rest of the world, but she's preoccupied with what she's interested in. Now her therapist hints to make a list to accomplish things than the dull life according to him she's presently living on. During her attempt, what are all things she go through was told in the remaining narration.

Bel Powley was brilliant in the title role. It was more like a sequel to her previous film 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl'. Like it was the next stage of her story. Between adulthood and teenhood, at the edge of teenage. Apart from her, the rest of the cast was decent. I usually like this kind of films, but they are all same. Developed from the basic storyline that we are very familiar with. In that perspective, this is not an impressive film, especially if you have seen plenty. Even though not bad for watching it once. Since the characters, cast and settings differ, besides the presentation was good, it surely a nice film to watch alone in a lazy weekend. Probably under- appreciated, but definitely an under- noticed film of the year.

Well directed for most of its time but eventually it gets lost within its own insubstantiality and ends up being a comedy that fails to advance more or to become something bigger.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a perfectly okay movie. Okay. A precocious young British woman living in New York with a fairly nice apartment and a musician for a neighbour. The musician is attractive and surprise, surprise, when Carrie opens her heart and gives him the time of day (instead of pride and prejudicing him) she discovers him to be a classical musician (and she loves her Edvard Grieg). Otherwise, weird characters (her colleagues at her new job) are weird and the bad guy (her former lit professor) is a villain, a chauvinist who happens to deserve the well-delivered punch in the face towards the film's close. As for Carrie going on a blind-date via the classifieds, this felt dated and not in keeping with the film's modern setting. Still, the brief interaction with the soon-to-be-married man was a momentary highlight and could have been more intriguing. Again, an okay film. It is digestible, the character veers occasionally into know-it-all territory yet you feel for her. Fine. Okay.… Expand

I enjoyed this film - its a bit predictable perhaps but I felt I could relate to the main, titular character.

I liked the characters and I liked how Carrie dealt with situations and the suggestions of her therapist. Its not exactly an amazing film but its a quietly decent film, as coming of age films about introverts are concerned. Its not especially memorable as such perhaps but I enjoyed it and I particularly liked the father daughter relationship with Carrie (played well by Bel Powley) and her dad, only known as Mr. Pilby, played by Gabriel Byrne.… Expand
