Review of Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018) by Camila D — 10 Sep 2018

Literally, my favourite moment was the ending cards.

Flat and a little questionable, I knew going in that this probably wasn't going to be a great film. But it's really just incredibly disappointing how Sierra isn't held accountable at all for, quite frankly, some pretty out-of-the-line actions (especially her disproportionate reaction to Veronica and Jamey's kiss). Sierra also isn't particularly ... interesting, compared to literally every other character. She's relatable, in that she's a way to present positive messages about self-esteem, but Purser is what carries Sierra - Sierra herself is just, 'eh', as a character.

Would have been more interesting as a story between Sierra and Veronica (there's enough queer-baiting anyway, though that might be reading into it) or even with Veronica as the star.
