It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I think this movie is highly underrated. It's a great movie about growing up in your early to mid twenties. I found it really meaningful. The dad kind of reminded me of my own, and the main character reminded me of myself. If you like indie dramas with a twist then you should try watching this movie and give it a higher rating so that other people try watching it.

Athena (Rose Leslie) lives in LA and wants to be a dancer. She shuns relationships. When her father in Florida calls with the news of cancer, she returns home to Florida after a three year hiatus and gets reacquainted with her father (Ray Liotta) and sister (Carmen Tonry). Her dad, who she calls Jack, has no filter. We get a glimpse of why Athena is how she is.It was an interesting film, funny at times. Athena's issues are basically self imposed, so I never felt for the main character. Decent indie with a certain amount of quirk and humor.Guide: F-word. Sex and nudity (Rose Leslie)

I was expecting something more. When I watched this movie it was rated 8,9(!). I had my doubts, and rightfully so. I would give it 7,5 if I could, tops. I have only a few reflections. 1. The twist is too late. When finally a point is made, I have already given up waiting. This leaves me somewhat annoyed. Like I'm waiting for hours for a break through and when it finally comes, the movie is over. The humor is also a bit dopey and somewhat annoying. Too much, in contrast to the serious theme. Why? And the characters weren't really likable to me. Yet, a sensitive coming of age story, with the hardships pictured of a young adults life. Even though the twist is late, it makes the movie worth watching. My advise is to stay patient.
