Spinster

source: Spinster

I like it. It tells the story of a girl, that is brave enough to look for love, even it never happens. She doesn't settle just with somebody to have company, she is looking for meaningful relationship.

Despite a few rough edges, I found myself captivated right the way through. Well written, completely unique, and succeeded as a mirror. Worth your time.

This film was a total random choice. One of those where I think to myself "I need to justify my Sky movies subscription and actually watch something". I tend to steer towards the indie, horror or comedy sections. Anyway, this appeared in the indie section and sounded OK from the description given. Within the first 15 minutes I did think about switching this off because it just felt a bit flat and boring, like it didn't know where it was going. This is no Bridget Jones's Diary in terms of romantic comedy about thirty something singletons. But as it progressed I actually came to appreciate that there were no big comedy moments or set-ups. Everything kind of flowed along naturally and the comedy came subtly through the script rather than it being thrown at you. Some people might find the "naturalistic" look to the movie difficult. It looks to have been shot totally using real locations rather than on a sound stage, and the script kind of feels like how people actually speak in the real world. The ending is actually kind of nice, and shows that women can be valued and value themselves on more than just being a girlfriend/wife/lover. If you're looking for a big romcom run through the airport or lovely wedding then don't watch this.

This is relatable on so many levels, as I'm in age when everyone tries so much to glue themselves to someone in order to settle down and fulfill classic cliche expectations, they often forget about their own ambitions on the way. The movie highlights it can be fun to focus on making yourself happy and successful first, as we don't necessarily need other person to live a good quality life. I loved the ending and wish there were more inspiring stories out there that contradict what often makes us miserable. Let's end this biased ageism for good, people. Let's just live !!!

Not my style but I liked it a lot. I thought the movie was good. It feels like you are watching real people being real. Definitely not a Romantic Comedy. More like a slice of someone's life. I clicked on that movie because I like Chelsea Peretti. I think her Stand-Up is great and she's the only reason I kind of half watched Brooklyn 99. After watching this movie I like her even a little more. In short: Not a Romantic Comedy , more a slice of real life.

It felt to me like this film was more about the substance rather than the style. What I took from it was the realisation of the stigma and pressure that we as a society put on single women who don't want to have kids. This is an important message however it felt like they started off with this and said, okay let's build our story and characters around it in order to further explain this message, as opposed to having the foundation of the story and characters in place first. So for most of the film I felt like it was trying to get this message across to me by creating characters with different view points so our main protagonist could make her point. This in turn took away any real interest in the story or connection with the characters and made it feel like I was watching little snippets of interactions. If you are a Chelsea Pretti fan, or someone who enjoys a slow paced rom-com, then you will like it. For me personally I'm on the fence. Yes bits of it were good but collectively it just didn't grab my attention.

You can count on anything Chelsea Peretti is in to illicit at least a few laughs. Funny movie.

I won't say it's something huge of the movie. Just discuss a topic that single or not via a funny way. Feel life is more complete somehow when single in Gaby case. Be open minded, don't be judgemential, everyone hv their own choice. Love the concept.

Thankfully for Chelsea Peretti's committed performance, "Spinster" succeeds at being different than most rom-com's even though it's script could've used some re-working. In this comedy, after her boyfriend breaks up with her on her birthday, a woman tackles her fears of loneliness and what it means to be single. An easy-going and sometimes funny film that really showcases Peretti's acting chops. I did feel as though "Spinster" lagged at some points and wondered if scenes could've been altered or re-worked. Some of the jokes didn't land as you'd expect them too but it's still a decent enough film to get through on a gloomy evening. Follow @snobmedia for more reviews!
