Info

Dina, an outspoken and eccentric 49-year-old in suburban Philadelphia, invites her fiancé Scott, a Walmart door greeter, to move in with her. Having grown up neurologically diverse in a world blind to the value of their experience, the two are head-over-heels for one another, but shacking up poses a new challenge. Scott freezes when it comes to physical intimacy, and Dina, a Kardashians fanatic, wants nothing more than to share with Scott all she’s learned about sensual desire from books, TV shows, and her previous marriage. Her increasingly creative forays to draw Scott close keep hitting roadblocks—exposing anxieties, insecurities, and communication snafus while they strive to reconcile their conflicting approaches to romance and intimacy.

miike-52468 Don't let the review title fool you, this was a good movie. Taking a person's life and making it real is not that easy to do regardless of the situation that person is in. The director takes the life of two people who are so invested in being good to each other that it supercedes every other situation in their life that they struggle with. The simplicity of the story a couple planning a marriage and honeymoon undercuts the complexity of the reality of these two people. The characteristic that moves the story and flatlines the suspense (there isn't any) is the untouchable honesty they share with each other over the most complex things most of us fumble with horribly to talk about. I enjoyed the movie but it wasn't perfect and could have used a little more continuity in the timeline, but I think the way it was done was intentional and other people might like that. Wonderfully real people and an amazingly boring story line makes this difficult to watch at times but pushes us to look at life from an angle very different from what most of us see through an event that most of us go through.
abondgirl At first I was a little ambivalent about this movie. While watching it (about an hour in), my husband said "Can we turn this off?" Parts of the movie were awkward and a little difficult to watch. However, there were several times I laughed out loud and really enjoyed the scenes. I especially loved the bachelorette party with the stripper. It was hilarious. I also really started to care about the characters; especially Dina. Dina is so open and honest and genuine that it is very easy to care about her. I thought that in real life we could be friends. The 911 call towards the end was very moving. Movies that mean the most to me are the ones I can't stop thinking about after they are over. I felt that way with this movie. I wanted to know MORE about Dina and was sorry the movie had ended. I wanted to keep up with her life and join in the conversations with her and Scott - ie talks about Hilary versus Trump and the election. Ha! I loved this movie. I love that it made me THINK About Aspberger's and autism, but it wasn't overly sympathetic - just genuine and real and thought provoking. I think people will either love or hate this movie, but that most will be moved and changed for the better.
Gil Holderbach Dina was decent. The standout elements are the very restrictive cinematography, with everything shot on a tripod making the film resemble a slice-of-life drama award contender; and the incredibly entertaining characters, with everyone behaving in a nonchalant and quirky way, almost like characters in a Wes Anderson film. While this film has an abundance of charm, I didn't find it exceptional. One metric I use to judge a documentary's quality is determining whether I would still care if it were a work of complete fiction, and I don't see myself being as forgiving if that were the case. My main annoyance with this film is that the story begins to feel extremely repetitive after a while. We are constantly cycling through the process of Dina getting frustrated, her fiancé having trouble compensating, and the to making up before starting again. If not for how entertaining the people featured are, the film would have been a complete slog.
