Protraph Lack of good storyline.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

isabellajonkman Quick warning for people who read the book. It wont be that accurate. When i read the book i loved the story and the humble amount of lgbt representation. I'm not saying that every movie these days should include something queer, i am saying that the book did involve a bit more dept of Carrie's sexuality and that this element in the story was very enjoyable and relatable for me to read. The movie also cuts off some characters i personally thought of as good additions to the story and as people that shaped Carrie more as a person.Some other things that kind of bothered me was that Harisson in the book i read was portrayed as an older man in his 40s and in the movie he looked like a 25 year old cutie. The list was also not quite accurate but i didn't mind that too much since these points did make the movie itself more enjoyable and more fitting for the movie industry. The thing that bothered me most was the ending. It ended on such a romantic note while i wished it would've ended a bit more similair to the book since that ending gave me more satisfaction that our loved Carrie would finally be a bit more at peace and satisfied with her life. Besides all the bringdowns the movie on is own is a highly enjoyable screenplay to spend your time on. With some relatable moments, quite amazing acting if i may say so myself and overall, a good plot and story.I recommend you watch it since i would never say it was a waste of my time. It was a good movie, yet dissapointing for someone who loved the book so much like me.

mekjd An honest try at portraying the struggle for relationship across generational lines. A lighthearted look at the downsides of being super smart. Supergeeks need love! While the performances are solid, it is hard to imagine the 'plot,' i.e., (spoiler, please read no further if you are spoiler averse) a faculty liaison with a sixteen year old. Jeez! Pretty Little Liars was more than enough in that vein. More to the point, how could someone this geeky get this much action with no awkwardness at all? I am a huge fan of both Gabriel Byrne and Nathan Lane but there were moments when I felt they were phoning it in, although phoning it in for these two remains excellent.A feel good movie with a lot to say about how confusing love is, but, oh, how necessary.

kerri_leigh80 I loved Carrie Pilby from the beginning to the end and I was very lucky enough to see the premiere at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) and I honestly could not wait to watch the film again (up to 3 viewings now). The script, the characters and scenes are all adored and beautiful, and speaks loud. I loved all the lines and creativity brought to the big screen by Bel Powley's as Carrie PIlby. Her beauty, charm, wittiness brings 100% delight through out the film. Great choice in main actress, and every girl can truly understand and can relate to Carrie, when trying to find purpose in life. This a an awesome film for men to watch and learn too, not just the ladies. Although the ladies do have great eye candies by the talents of Jason Ritter, Colin O'Donogue, and William Moseley. Other standout favourite cast is Vanessa Bayer, Nathan Lane, and Gabriel Byrne. Susan Johnson, Kara Holden, and Caren Lissner all deserve a standing ovation for a great film. Recommend highly to watch this fuzzy, heartwarming film that will leaving you wanting to watch more.

Raven-1969 Carrie is a young Harvard graduate, healthy and pretty, and she lives in a New York City apartment paid for by her Dad. Despite such advantages, she is crippled by fear and insecurity. Stung by human cruelty and indifference, Carrie has become cynical, defensive and a loner without a job or purpose. Her fastidious nature only digs more holes for herself. Luckily, Carrie's therapist has a plan to get her out of the funk. Despite the straightforward and simple nature of the plan which requires that Carrie merely re-read a favorite book, find a friend, go on a date, get a pet and do something she loved as a child, Carrie balks, struggles and finds snarky ways to cut corners. Though Carrie struggles, the plan begins to work its magic in getting her to engage with the world again. She finds that the source of her pain is also the source of her strength.The main actor, Bel Powley, is charming and a wonder to watch. The dialogue is sharp and funny. I loved the theme of the story; a good person who is wounded emotionally and struggling with their innate power. In Carrie there is this timeless hero myth retold from a female perspective for a change. It is refreshing. The film is based on a book of the same name. The film gets a little clunky when it relies too heavily on lines. It then has a preordained quality like lemmings going to the sea. Overall, though, it is alluring and clever. Seen at the Miami International Film Festival.
