Audience Member Bel Powely, Nathan Lane, Jason Ritter, Gabriel Byrne, William Moseley, Vanessa Bayer, Colin O' Donohuge Powely is Carrie Pilby; she is 19 years old and a certified genius She graduated from Harvard very early yet she doesn't know how to act or behave like everyone else Carrie sees the average human as unreliable, flawed, without morality She sees a therapist and he gives her a task; making a list of things she never has done Carrie in the process decides to fall in love too but it might be more challenging than anything She's never experienced friendship, sex etc There's also the the fact that she resents her father for living across the globe and starting a new family Sometimes the smartest thing to do is not knowing what you re doing all the time, people shouldn't have to keep making excuses for bad behavior, sex doesn't have to be complicated when it comes to dating or falling in love, we don't have to be everyone's moral guardian, being around others smarter than the average person can't make up for the loss of childhood A movie that has true heart relating to any of us that have genuinely felt alone in a big city Being super intelligent is certainly no substitute for being happy Bel Powely gives off some quirks that are truly compelling despite some plot contrivances that occasionally show up Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Martin B Perfectly cast in my view. Powley the thorough bred, intense and hard to control. Non compromising, full measure of teen angst, debilitating smart and pretty but not distractingly so. Avuncular but flawed Nathan Lane spot on and Byrne the absentee dad rallying at the perfect time in an understated way getting Carrie back on track.....very satisfying. A feel good movie but what's wrong with that. Simple, hit the right flat notes before ringing true and delivering a happy ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review John C A sweet rom-com. I liked Carrie and caring about her was effortless. Awkward, genius it was enjoyable and heart warming following her journey. Good performances all round. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review D T I enjoyed this very much. The characters each had their own redeeming qualities and there was no suffering through the mandatory social justice themes found in every movie today. That's probably why the professional critics didn't like it--not enough activism. They don't realize that maybe we are sick of being preached to every second of the day. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Paulami A Sharp-witted Carrie Pilby makes me laugh and relate entirely although I am not a young prodigy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/22 Full Review isla s I enjoyed this film - its a bit predictable perhaps but I felt I could relate to the main, titular character. I liked the characters and I liked how Carrie dealt with situations and the suggestions of her therapist. Its not exactly an amazing film but its a quietly decent film, as coming of age films about introverts are concerned. Its not especially memorable as such perhaps but I enjoyed it and I particularly liked the father daughter relationship with Carrie (played well by Bel Powley) and her dad, only known as Mr. Pilby, played by Gabriel Byrne.
