Boring, long, and too preachy.

A lot of fun.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A magnificently well directed, written, and acted film. Though the story is nothing out of the ordinary, the way it explores and brings together the way many people live is amazing. From someone being homeless by choice, a separated marriage expert, to an alcoholic Beverly Hills wife, the film manages to depict their flaws as part of life.I have also just noticed, that the main protagonists in this film are female. While that is great, the fact that these women's lives are so linked with those of their male counterparts cancels out this potentially progressive film.Ellen Page has done a remarkable job in this film. While I admit that I have not seen her in many movies, I did not expect to see her in this kind of role. She pulls off the tomboy, doesn't-give-a-crap attitude with such precision that it is hard to remember she is acting. Janney also does well in her supporting role to Page. While a bit awkward at times, the chemistry between her and Page slowly develops as the characters bond.While there are many characters in this film, the story is carried predominantly by Tallulah. The story of her life as she lives carelessly moment by moment is disrupted by this one pivotal event. Heder does an incredible job at writing the story so that audiences can relate to the characters. These are characters that we might not take a second look at if we passed them by on the streets. Or might make a snap judgement about, and carry on with our lives. But, this film shows that there is more to a person than their appearance.Overall, a real gem of a movie that promises to engage you in its dialogue.

My wife and I both found this a small masterpiece.The writing is enchanting.The players are superb. Ellen Page never ceases to amaze. She is one very talented lady.Allison Jenney's work is always worth watching, never more so than in this flick.I found the Carolyn part played just a wee bit over the top.At a time when far too many movies are made for a young audience devoid of aesthetic sensibility, it's movies like this that rekindle love of film in the mature movie-goer.

Ellen Page is excellent as a homeless young woman, cynical, hard-bitten and foul-mouthed, who abducts a toddler from its rich, neglectful mother and makes friends with her ex-boyfriend's estranged mother--under the guise that she's a single mom raising this woman's granddaughter all on her own. A hard movie to like, but also a movie impossible to dismiss, "Tallulah" is an impressive production purchased by Netflix that has many things to recommend it, not the least of which is an array of fabulous performances from the ladies in the cast. Unfortunately, filmmaker Sian Heder is a much better director than she is a writer, and the relationship between Tallulah and her boyfriend--a crucial element in the story--is not convincing (the problem is with his character, who simply does not ring true). Page is reunited with her "Juno" co-star Allison Janney, and the two have a special rapport that is, by turns, angry and bitter and lovely and moving. However, the arc of Janney's character isn't as profound as its meant to be (for instance, she's terrible and nasty to her soon-to-be-ex husband, who left her for another man), and the last portion of the plot is gummy and indecisive.

I loved this movie. The story is gripping, the characters interesting with authentic intensity. Slowly and with a fine tuning people are brought together who ultimately all have the same issue: Lack of Love. The story shows what happens to us when Love is missing, what crazy behavior can result from this and how desperately insecure we are wondering around in this world then. The emotions like disappointment, resentment, hurt and anger are very well displayed without disturbing the viewer too much. Also the small parts, like the scenes between Margo and the doorman, are precious. It shows that Love is in every corner of this world, we don't have to go to big lengths to find Love. It is everywhere. Just our wounds and hurt from the past blinds us to see it. Wonderful acting, heartwarming and at times also a funny. Really worth seeing.
