Lot of promise in the young filmmaker and talent but ultimately a bore
The setting, filming are bad, but the two lead actresses did a fabulous job.
What poor dialogue, flat characters and stereotypes everywhere. Might have chuckled here and there but not worth the watch. All that social media just turns me off in a film where it should be about story line, film angles and getting us to connect with the characters. Well what do I know ...Read more
What poor dialogue, flat characters and stereotypes everywhere. Might have chuckled here and there but not worth the watch. All that social media just turns me off in a film where it should be about story line, film angles and getting us to connect with the characters. Well what do I know as I came out at 39 and never really got a chance to date the community. Loved the movie Call me by your Name , so why can't we have better lesbian flicks.

So here's the thing about this film: I watched it a while ago and had very mixed feelings about it. It's made for a very specific sort of audience, and will not be to everyone's taste. If you are a card-carrying Millenial at or near college age who is very invested in the culture of Millenials, you will probably enjoy this film the most. I am not heavily active on social media, I don't go on Buzzfeed that much, and even though I carry many of the tropes true to my generation, I consider myself pretty detached from Millenial culture in this regard. However, I don't look down on people who like Buzzfeed and Instagram and Snapchat--people who would get the most out of this film.
'Almost Adults' is very much a 'pop' film: easy to digest and good for people who want something extra-light. Not everyone wants to sit through a three-hour art house Czech new wave deconstruction of capitalism with sapphic undertones. Sometimes you want to watch two pretty girls who take selfies and make poor life decisions because that is what you find relatable, and that's okay.
The actual quality of the film itself? Pretty meh. But again, it's a good choice if you want something light and #relatable and don't feel like sitting through 'Blue is the Warmest Color' for the fifth time.
Read lessya its bad lol
Not good
very bad
thumbs down
Millenial angst set in Toronto & U of T.
Was cute to begin with but the characters are not very likeable
awful, stupid movie
Seems like a Real Housewives Junior edition. For most of the movie, they just keep having the same conversations over and over and over again, long after the viewer has lost any interest in it.
Loved this movie. This is what a real friendship means. Loved ever frame of it,
terrible. The epitome of white hipster culture reiterating gender and sexuality norms.
Thanks. white hipster culture reiterating gender and sexuality norms. Good a normal movie just what I am looking for.
omg yes!! Total trash. I was really hoping for something progressive.
really good movie..Kind of a primer for coming out and being true to your self. I really liked all the actors. I was kind of done safely and I didn't get why every one was kind of mirror quality pretty. Beyond the language I would t think this movie is fine for say 16-20 yr people..so not bad ...Read more
really good movie..Kind of a primer for coming out and being true to your self. I really liked all the actors. I was kind of done safely and I didn't get why every one was kind of mirror quality pretty. Beyond the language I would t think this movie is fine for say 16-20 yr people..so not bad at all I to be honest thought that the Cassie friend was also going to announce she is gay, would that have made it a better ending probably not but it would have made it a more interesting movie.
Read lessThe two lead actresses are actually used to playing a couple. They do a web show about vampires called Carmilla, so if you want to see that version of their relationship, it's out there.
Thank you so much, I had no idea about them at all before I found this, and then I found Carmilla because of your comment and it is now one of my most favorite series!!
