However did Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman get the funding to make this film? It eschews so many of the conventional narrative tricks for character studies like this, namely our main character doesn’t appear to change much by the end. We’re stuck with a dark, sour, alcoholic woman whose personal highlights are behind her, and who has crystallized her power-bitch prom-queen persona into a fright... read more

An honest and brutally funny character study.

"Sometimes in order to heal a few people have to get hurt."

The last collaboration between director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody was back in 2007 with the Oscar-winning Juno. Now, after the amazing Up in the Air, Reitman reunites again with Cody, and the result is Young Adult. It's definitely a far-cry from Juno, but Reitman and Cody handle the subject matter amazingl... read more

When I watched the trailer for this film, I thought this would be a fun light comedy. But a few minutes into the movie I found out I couldn't be more wrong. Although there are some funny moments (mostly black humor), this is essentially a drama. Not that that's a bad thing, I found this to be touching and beautiful, even though I know quite a few people who deeply disliked it. I guess it's just no... read more

Movie Diary - 2013 (245 movies items)

"28.2.2013 Charlize Theron on hyvä roolissaan nuoisokirjailijana, joka lähestyy hiljalleen keski-ikää mutta ei ole henkisesti juuri kypsynyt matkan varrella. Päähenkilö yrittää lapsellisesti hommata lukioaikaisen poikaystävänsä takaisin. Leffa tarjosi muutamat naurut ja mukavan määrän myötähäpeää. "

“When I watched the trailer for this film, I thought this would be a fun light comedy. But a few minutes into the movie I found out I couldn't be more wrong.

Not that that's a bad thing, I found this to be touching and beautiful, even though I know quite a few people who deeply disliked it. I guess it's just not a crowd pleaser. I'll admit it has a slow pace and I don't recommend it for those who have little patience when watching films. But it's a compelling story and the main character (Mavis) is really relatable. She's a woman who used to have everything when she was younger, but somewhere along the way she lost herself and she can't seem to be able to pull her life back together.
