Micransix Crappy film

tieman64 Todd Louiso's "Hello I Must Be Going" stars Melanie Lynskey as Amy, a young woman who moves in with her wealthy parents after a bitter divorce.During "Going's" first act, Louiso indulges in light satire. Amy's wealthy parents are mocked for being vapid, a more liberal family are mocked for being airheads and a son fakes being gay in order to flatter his progressive, ultra-tolerant parents. The film then turns into a little Girl Power screed. Here Amy learns to sympathise with her mother, who's been neglected by Amy's oft absent father. Amy also has an affair with a nineteen year old guy (Christopher Abbott), and kicks away her ex-husband, an adulterous man whom Amy delights in milking for a divorce settlement. At first glance the film thus seems to be indulging in a little reverse-sexism, but Louiso has other intentions. Amy's dad is ultimately a nice guy and Abbott's character ultimately teaches Amy to love herself.Ever since "The Graduate" (1967) and "Harold and Maude" (1971), the older woman-younger man paradigm has been fairly mainstream. "Hello I Must Be Going", though, seems to offer the reverse of the countless indie films released annually in which a young, pixie faced woman exists only to "heal" the wounds of a depressed older man. And so here Amy self-identifies as a loser, incapable of being loved, an "ailment" which an incredulous fling promptly cures; nothing like being adored by a teenager, apparently, to kick-start your libido.6/10 – Worth one viewing.

ilovemytribe The underlying feeling tones that stood out in this movie for me were: Real, Raw, Genuine, Authentic, Intimate and Sincere Connection. The film reminded me of a time in life when you're in college, living on student loans or in your parents house and you still have the time and the innocence (you haven't yet been scarred and jarred by "the real world") to make these beautiful, sometimes fleeting…sometimes short-lived connections with another human being. Things like sharing family secrets, or staying on the phone until 6am while the sun comes up. Once the focus becomes "the job", "the bills" and other responsibilities; many of these beautiful moments become lost. Once an "adult", one quickly learns that relationships are often superficial, dis-honest and based on ulterior motives. This movie put me in touch with the emotions of what it's like to feel alive, loved and accepted even though you don't have it all figured out. Overall, I would give the movie a 6 but for emotional impact, I would add another 2 stars. Great gem of a film with a perfect soundtrack to accompany.

mtta1 Involving depression and divorce and coming-of-age and older-younger romance - all subjects which have been overplayed in lesser films - there was such a risk that this film descend into cliché and slapstick. Yet the acting and direction were full of restraint and composure, which makes the characters believable and the dramatic side of the film meaningful. The main performance is understated and very funny if you are able to think and relate. To have a performance work across such a wide range is an achievement with a high degree of difficulty.It was interesting to see the main character work through her relationship with her parents, and therein lies the heart of the film and its originality. The dry humor is great and the story is wonderful.

Jolie Joyce This movie is great, very relaxing. It shows lovely meaningful story of two people and their families, love and simplicity. The simple things, the simplest pleasures of life like enjoying each other company, spending time talking endlessly, empathy, understanding, love, finding our way, fulfillment - the best things in life are for free. And indeed they are.It is good to be reminded about it. Allowing ourselves to stand up, make different decisions and start doing whats truly makes us happy is sometimes hard. But once we understand ourselves and go for what we love ... the ending must be much better then what we created up to now. I did very much enjoy this movie. Actors play is exquisite and frankly I am watching it on repeat now and its still great each time. I would love to see part two of it :)
