jesse v 18 hrs ago paper tiger crawled in the 1980s aesthetic so that mouse could run. though it is extremely odd there are very few white male characters that speak, and only a couple older males by the second half. I can't tell if the early 2000s references are purposeful or forced. after the event, the friend's mother and Mouse keep connecting forcefully by unusual circumstances, and we see them too often. the guy friend also disappears mysteriously only to be brought back for a college party scene (and half of that scene was missing in terms of story). DOES MS MARVEL LIVE BY HERSELF?? i also don't like how we lost more of the school and mouse's side job after the event. it is also bizarre how Ms Marvel is here for a tiny side story. musical professor being the last minute therapist was oddly random, plus the two white girls constantly being bullies. the actors performances and emotions carry this coming of age story (that was once a slice of life). i do actually wonder how close each setting is since we see some characters walk.

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 13 hrs ago Mouse is a decent film with an independent feel, despite being pushed into theaters. The story follows a young girl who loses her friend and tries to help the grieving mother while finding her own way through the loss. She wants to preserve the friendship they shared without losing herself. It is an emotional premise with potential. Unfortunately, the screenplay struggles. Some choices feel unnecessary, and adjustments could have strengthened the story but were never made. Instead of pushing the narrative forward, the film takes detours that leave moments underdeveloped. I wanted more depth and a stronger emotional connection. Some characters also feel misplaced or underused. They sit in the background without meaningful development, contributing very little. That leaves gaps where the film could have added depth. Overall, Mouse is a decent independent film with a touching idea, but too many opportunities are missed. A more focused screenplay could have made it stronger. See more

Nancy S @nansmith07 6 days ago Gripping and cathartic, the film invites us into the messiness of lives and relationships in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy. See more

David L @davidonfilm 6 days ago "Mouse" is a warm, tender, relatable, honest dramedy about grief and acceptance of what makes you, you. Kelly O'Sullivan & Alex Thompson use coming-of-age sensibilities to address the painful stages of coming to terms with loss anchored by Katherine Mallen Kupferer and Sophie Okonedo. See more
