The Movie Buff

Ends up overcoming its rough edges and jarring tonal shifts to tell a good story of a mother and her dynamic with an unlikely individual.

Watkins is outstanding, joined by co-star Gillespie, with the pair gracefully realizing the delicate ways of “Suze,” which does very well staying grounded and hitting periodic beats of hilarity.

Rated: B+

The performances of Watkins and Gillespie are what make this picture sweet rather than an awkward May-December drama.

Suze is a funny, never-judge-a-book-by-its-cover dramedy, that succeeds because of its engaging lead performances and in the way it presents a platonic relationship based on mutual respect.

Rated: 3.5/5

What She Said

Hilarious and frequently uncomfortable ...an interesting, bittersweet character study of a woman who is keen to please everyone, a daughter who needs to cool it, and a loser who finds his path.

Rated: 3/4

This movie was incredibly sweet to watch. It's funny, sad, goofy, delicate and it feels like a warm hug after you finish it. Both lead characters have so many layers that we get to see througout the movie. I love how themes like codependency, self discovery, self worth, mental health and the meaning of love and family are addressed throughout the storyline. You end up actually feeling something for these characters, and even if you don't necessarily relate to some of the situations they go through, you will definetly relate to how they feel at some point. Michaela Watkins and Charlie Gillespie did an exquisite job with their characters and how they rely on each other to heal their own wounds. Each of them had something that the other one was missing and to watch them realize that was so so beautiful. It shows how deep human emotions can go, no matter how old or how young you are. People are just people, regardless of age or status.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I don't usually like these types of films and wouldn't watch them at all. It kind of looked like it would be one of those throwaways, too dumb to take seriously, a waste of time. Boy, was I was wrong. I absolutely loved it. The acting by the three leads was great, exceptional really, and everybody else was believable and seemed real. The story was very good - interesting, funny, and charming. Whoever put this together really has something going for them, I liked everything about it. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with it, and I usually find something. The most pleasant surprise I can remember watching a movie.
