Claire, a quirky and likable film student, is trying to find her place in a world that has a lot of judgments on her creative ideas. The writer and director, Nicola Rose, has very creative ways to tell this story which makes this not your typical rom-com, it is unpredictable, surprising, and a really fun watch.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review Rick I Wholesome AF Puppet shows, paris, and puppy love, what more can you ask for? This film follows the story of a young woman who moves to Paris on a whim to follow her puppetry dream and has lots to learn about love and her place in the world. Let's talk about the lead: she has a huge smile that makes you want to hug her desperately, but also some of the best deadpan lines I've seen in a while. She had me laughing out loud. Also, this is gonna sound crazy, but the filmmakers found a leading man who is also a super talented figure skater and his work is on full display here. Best friend also had some great one liners. The lighting is great. The drone photography is top notch. The score is reminiscent of a music box and plays out almost entirely by solo piano. It's splendid. The writing is hilarious and at times introspective. The script also knows when to hold back and leaves you with an ending that may not be what you want, but it's exactly what you need.
