Review of Mistress America (2015) by Wrongcharlie — 02 Sep 2015

This film is poor, having enjoyed Frances Ha I was expecting great things but sadly no. How it has received such positive reviews is a mystery. I was very close to leaving halfway through but with the knowledge that it was less than 90mins long I stayed, that it isnt overly long is its main quality.

The characters are unlikable or at best elicit indifference. The acting and interactions are unbelievable. At times I couldnt work out whether the intention of the acting & dialogue was to create some sort of homage of a farce stage show.

What ever the intention the end result is a mess, fairly annoying and rarely funny.
