I love this movie so much

Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Although very messy and sometimes you catch yourself thinking that this isn't exactly the most cohesive thing in the world, the movie it's funny and completely ambitious when it comes to creative characters and unexpected plots. But then comes the first problem, the thousands of plots became unorganized with the time. It left me with some questions and instigated with a lot of thing from its own mythology that was never answered. Nevertheless, somehow it was always getting me more and more curious and that's a great thing considering the tons of confusing information the movie throws at its viewer. The directing is good, not else must be said. It hasn't showed me anything new, but it works most part of the time. About the cast, there's good performances here, most from the supporting actors - which sometimes steal the scenes -, and the leading ones delivers what is asked for. The Screenplay as it whole is far from perfection. Everything has to be put together by the audience, which receives no help at any moment. Is not like I'm asking for an explaining moment, but the information could be better told. A considerable part of the scenes are not well constructed. For example, a scene that passes during daylight goes straight to nighty plans, and then comes the sun again. I was pretty confused. However, the script is so different and interesting, and then when you see it, IT WORKS. There are credible lines, good characters - and a bit creepy, thanks to Mr. Neil Gaiman -, imaginative situations and the most important very entertaining. It made me laugh multiple times and that's what I was expecting from a comedy, so at that point, half way was done. Sadly it lacked on a better structure, because it had the potential to go all the way.

While definitively unique and energetic, the movie struggles to have focus on any plot point that presents us, which is a shame 'cause there are some interesting ideas and concepts that are barely touched on: the romance (which disappointingly had very few chemistry), the aliens's different cultures, "the punk", etc. Aside from that, the acting was decent, although is (obviously) Elle Fanning that really steals the show as well as Nicole Kidman, the soundtrack is great, both from the punk and the ambient electronic experimental alien-ish side of the music, the directing is decent, all in all is really the script that makes the film fall short, which, again, is disappointing for a film with this clear passion and effort put into.

A punk sci-fi alien sex comedy might not be for everyone, and that's ok. Yet for lovers of intelligent sci-fi mixed with experimental cinema, this movie dances like the sex pistols running through Bowie's "The Man Who Fell to Earth." Apparently based on a Neil Gaiman short story, the director of Hedwig and the Angry Inch stamps his punk musical feel onto Neil Gaiman's wonderfully thought out premise, and a cross cultural love story between aliens and punks entertainingly spews forth. Frankly, I loved it. Elle Fanning's adorable portrayal of naively transgressing from a controlling alien culture into 1977's punk world highlights the nature of punk's original anarchistic push against our own cultural normsI think time will prove critics wrong as this definitively un-hollywood take on punk and imagined alien culture clash elevates from the mass of easy critique into the status of cult classic.

The picture "How to talk to girls at parties" is a fascinating and fantastic story about love. The film unfolds in the suburbs of London in 1977. Three friends of high school punks after the next concert go in search of after-care and accidentally wander to an unusual party. There they observe small groups of people in amazing costumes of various colors. One of them is fond of sex Stella (Ruth Wilson), the other finds herself in a strange dance, and the main character Anne (Alex Sharp) falls in love with the beautiful Zen (El Fanning). At first, it seems to him that she is just a nuts American, but later he learns that she is an alien, like everyone else at a party. This is only an intriguing plot of the film, which can be called a fantastic romantic musical comedy impregnated with punk culture.This work was put by John Cameron Mitchell on the eponymous story of the now very popular English writer Neil Gaiman. American Mitchell - a provocative director, screenwriter, actor - known for theatrical and film audience for his musical, and later the film - "Hedwig and the ill-fated inch." Briton Gaiman, in turn, is more known for the novel "American Gods" and his recent serialization. In creating a beautiful visual style, Mitchell was helped by the cameraman Frank J. DeMarco, who shot "The hope will not fade away" with Robert Redford, as well as costume designer Sandy Powell, the owner of three Oscars, for her past work. Along with this, you can hear the frenzied music of the 70's in the picture, not so much hits as it usually happens, how many tracks of lesser known bands that even more immerses in that atmosphere.To watch this picture is a pleasure, if you like its creators like punk rock and Britain of that time. Animated psychedelic scenes complementary to what is happening look bright and mesmerizing. The cast that, to the stars already listed (and they can not be called in any other way, because Ruth Wilson and Alex Sharp are also theater actors with high awards) is complemented by the unfading Nicole Kidman in the image of the punk queen Bodice, looks very convincing. And the fascinating El Fanning, who is at least 18 years old, will make even those who perfectly speak with girls at parties party.
