Critics Consensus

It'll be best enjoyed by audiences with a high tolerance for colorful whimsy, but Unicorn Store is easy to like -- and it suggests Brie Larson has a future behind the camera.

I really love this movie and I think it holds up 6 years later. This is an abstract and dreamlike film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Its absurdity helps us understand the poignant fears and reality of growing up and merging our childhood fantasies with adult responsibilities. The color in this film is wonderful and nostalgic.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A solid story about self love and self discovery, and how the best way to connect with your inner child is actually by maturing and allowing others to love you. Touching and comedic, it's a show I'm happy to rewatch many times!

Even adults will be fascinated by the apparently simple experience of life that the film depicts. Brie Larson - as usual - gives a spotless performance. And as a director, she shows also a skilled confidence with which she guides the cast (Samuel L. Jackson always shines) and the viewer. We look forward to more productions with Larson's signature.

It's a weird ass movie that may be too complicated for some people to comprehend, but I really liked its message. It's evident it's got brie larson all over it, and I love the beginning where they showed the home videos. What I love most about it though was the resolve. It was a good ending, although imo they should've just made kit work for an advertising company or publishing because that's where she belong.

You can practically see the gears of Larson's earnest intentions straining to churn out an earned resolution for her heroine, but it's tainted by the botched coming-of-age lesson we all have to endure to get there.

Thrillist

The movie practically begs you to indulge your inner child. But the adult in me prevailed, and I spent too much of the running time desperate to scream at the screen: Grow up already.

Unicorn Store won't set the world on fire, but it reminds women that should appreciate the things they love, no matter how silly they are.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Unicorn Store is full of humor, light-heated moments, and filled with this sense of nostalgia for a time when life was easier for us.

Flick Feast

A sweet, sweet film but beneath the quirky, glitzy exterior is a message at its nutty centre. So kind of like a Ferrero Rocher...
