Sofie F @RT48178089 Aug 11, 2024 It is the kind of movie you love or you hate, depending on how much you can relate. It is not for anyone. I unverstand, why people find Emily annoying, i felt that too, but I think she is also very realistic. And I laughed a lot during this movie. See more Alexander G @RT43114629 Dec 19, 2023 Funny, so many people from the audience give such bad reviews for this little gem of a movie. It's not at all fulfilling your expectations. We never know what will happen next. All characters are kind of fucked up and that's what we all are. I loved it. Found it authentic, at times funny, at times sad, but always felt connected. See more David L @RT36020291 Nov 15, 2022 How come no one like this movie? Mr. Roosevelt is refreshing, amazing, entertaining and rewatchable. The story and characters have a way to relate to us. Such an underrated yet amazing film. See more ben n @Bneffer Jul 12, 2022 This movie is frustrating. Emily (played by an appealing and talented Noel Wells) is annoying. She is in a world that is the product of her own choices, and she rails against the unfair nature of the world for too long. She travels home to Austin, TX because her cat dies. She left her cat (and live-in boyfriend) behind to pursue her dream of making it in L.A. This dream, regardless of her chances, is her chosen path. So why is she spending the entire movie gein annoyed by almost everyone else in Austin, being sad about the stuff she left there. Who is supposed to solve her attitude? She is the only one who can decide what is or is not important to her. This movie is not nearly funny enough, though I love the character Jen and everything involving her. It tries to be a drama-dy, but just lands on self-serving drama for the most part. I laughed at the absurdity of the main character, after I had walked with her in empathy for the first 30-60 minutes. It's tragically awkward at times, but there's not much payoff for it unfortunately. SPOILERS She quits her job, alienates her ex and friends, and has no money. But at least she has figured out that she is her own worst enemy and maybe she should stop blaming others for not being where she wants to be in life. This movie seems like a long way to go for that simple realization. See more Jan 28, 2022 A dramedy that is neither dramatic nor comedic. A twee, self-indulgent mess with characters behaving in ways no human in history would ever behave. See more Jan 14, 2021 It's really good! It's relatable and impacted me in an exponential sense See more Read all reviews
