Got to see this film at the Toronto International Film Festival. (Was also there for the Red Carpet and Q&A and might I just say Brie Larson is SO SO SO Down to earth.)
This is a coming of age movie about a middle aged woman going through a mid-life crisis. Very clever script and strong performances from Larson and Jackson.
Nice use of shots, with unique touch of shaky cams, and lighting expo. As her directorial debut, I was very impressed!
