Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

erica807 Media with a writer as a lead is rarely a good idea, but I was intrigued by the idea of a struggling female writer finding success and happiness. I also like the actress, so I figured there was no harm in giving it a try. Unfortunately, the movie fell short of meeting any of my expectations.As a romance, it was atrocious. Their relationship was represented by a haphazard, cliched conglomeration of clips, as we time skipped through everything we needed to see to understand. We went straight from the clumsy meeting of an acclaimed but emotionally incompetent curmudgeon and a struggling but quirky and effusive writer, to their break-up. There was no chance to build an attachment to them as a couple. Beyond their good looks, there wasn't any reason to want to see them together.Then there was Willie, who I didn't mind if only because he was realistic in a way and because there were no attempts to make him sympathetic. He was narcissistic cad, period. However, I do have to note that his presence wasn't necessary. The main role he played was being the antagonistic foil to the male lead to make the latter seem like a better man. Otherwise, he could have been removed in order to provide more time to actually develop the main couple's relationship.On that note, the male lead is another reason why the romance was grossly unappealing. They give us no reason to like him. He's a better alternative to Willie, but that's not saying much. He's rude, insensitive, brooding, and selfish. What kind of competent but struggling professional screams abuse and throw objects at the people they work with? What kind of male lead in a romance deliberately tries to make the female lead miserable? What kind of male lead attempts to sabotage a healing father-daughter relationship? What kind of romance features a couple suddenly and inexplicably in love with each other despite having only unkind words for the other throughout most of the film?The film comes across as one of those stale romcoms which excuse a man's emotional incompetence and abuse, by framing as a test of the woman's capacity to endure and forgive. This idea was reaffirmed, in my opinion, when the male lead's friend disregards all the misfortune and damage they caused the female lead and has the nerve to call them "nice guys" for being unable to do worse.The scene in which he confessed his wrongdoings only made me irritated and disgusted by the writers and the plot. For background, there's a meta line where the character the lead is writing about, Darsie, comments that she will only do nudity if it's absolutely vital to the plot. Cue gratuitous nudity from lead, with the forced assumption that it is essential to the plot. Spoiler: it's not. The female lead is only nude to exploit the female actress, and to put the female lead in a naked (lterally), vulnerable, humiliating, revealing, and disadvantaged position when the male lead comes to dleiver his apologies and excuses. This keeps the power dynamics in favor of the male lead, despite his actions necessitating his surrendering the power to the person he wronged. It's screwed up.I wish I hadn't watched this movie. The only positIves were Karen Gillan's acting, and the potential to be great the film had if it had focused on anything but the romance, if it had excised the romance altogether. If the movie had focused on Jane's career, or writing, or her relationship with her father... It's too bad, really.

tonymclees Not got too much to say here, I loved the movie. Beautiful locations, beautiful cast and a story with a beautiful outlook...beautiful. At first i thought I'd be put off with the hipster style of the characters but after a few seconds this misgiving melted away to be replaced initially with satisfaction then with delight. Seeing Karen Gillan's character sporting braids was almost too much though,she just fills the screen with her youthful beauty and she has a laid back seeming style of acting which lets you relax into the story. If you don't like a film to try and be your friend, don't watch it but if you want to get immersed in the lives of some very likable characters, give it a shot.

Harriet Deltubbo Everyone has to admit that its originality makes this one of the best movies of all time. It will always be one of my favorites. Silly but fun, it is the story of what happens when a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked he knows he has to unblock her or he's finished. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. God bless this film. The acting is very effective. This is the kind of film that proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one.

jason cullen This movie begins with on screen text for exposition and gets worse from there...This is supposed to be a simple movie about a struggling writer who ends up having writers block and can't complete her second novel. But ends up being a frustrating story about a girl who had everything in the first place and gets everything else in the end.The first thirty minutes of this movie is actually a montage of how Karen Gillan's character becomes apparently Scotlands greatest writer after her first book. It goes on to force a subplot of a love triangle of two gorgeous successful men, to which there only apparent negative points is that they have a difference of opinion of her book title and movie adaption should be done. Finally it ends with the most inappropriate book launches in the history of literature.The acting is about the only thing that is OK about this movie, but even saying that, it is terribly cast... Karen Gillan is a great actress but they should have cast Martine McCutcheon as the awkward hipster book writer with a bad dress sense (That very dress sense which is the most frustrating thing about this movie as no women would leave the house in what Karen is dressed in in this movie... not even ironically), As she could have pulled off the awkward British comedy that they are going for...This movie is like a college graduates rejected short film that was dragged out into a feature movie... It really displays no good storytelling or film making skill. The main character is apparently a failing unsigned novelist at the beginning of the movie, who somehow can afford, not only a big apartment on her own with no job but also a house in the country side and a full wardrobe... Her antagonist is a Beautiful young Frenchman who owns his own small publishing firm that is going bankrupt even though he has the award winning best new writer on his books... There has been no thought given to the characters background, story or casting...It's a shame that this was made... Someone was lucky enough to get these skilled actors and crew and wasted it on this story... how it got funded is beyond me.Do yourself a favour... give this one a miss
