Review of Mr. Roosevelt (2017) by Jonathan B — 13 Nov 2017
Through "Mr. Roosevelt," Noël Wells ("Master of None," "Saturday Night Live," "Infinity Baby") proves herself, not as master of one-liners or gimmicks, rather one of constructing scenarios that lead to satisfyingly humorous conclusions and heartfelt laughs.
In her directorial debut, Wells shows us that she's a professional at singling out life's insecurities and anxieties and making them unabashedly relatable. Though the film has its downfalls, like mediocre acting at times and occasionally a touch of poor direction, "Mr.
Roosevelt" is too sincere and too witty to pass up. It captures the absolute awkwardness of everyday life by means of relatable situations wrapped in charisma and charm. We're looking forward to what Wells has in store for the future.
