Where's the 0.2125 out of 10? I know, that's very specific. I think it's very accurate though. Also, I have no fingers. How am I typing this? Anyways, so I expected this movie to be good. It had one of my favorite actresses! The plot looked good too. it sounded good. APPARENTLY WE CAN'T JUDGE A MOVIE BY ITS PLOT . so yes

Story about a schizophrenic and vulnerable woman called Jane and her relationship with a manipulative psychopath called Tom.When Jane was a child her mum died, and her dad turned to booze and disappeared, which seems to have contributed to her pursuing abusive relationships with father figures. Tom wages a campaign to make Jane's life as miserable as possible (resorting to breaking and entering, theft, kidnapping, and threatening to kill her dog), in order to exploit her financially and sexually.The dark subject matter is hidden in romantic comedy tropes in a similar way to 500 Days of Summer. To begin with it hits every romcom beat - you'll anticipate every new plot point - but gradually becomes less predictable and it's not till the end that it becomes clear if the story's going to be a redemptive one and she either kills Tom or escapes him, with a new sense of confidence, or if it's going to go the full tragic heroine route and have Tom take her away from her remaining family and set her up as a domestic slave. *cough*

Not got too much to say here, I loved the movie. Beautiful locations, beautiful cast and a story with a beautiful outlook...beautiful. At first i thought I'd be put off with the hipster style of the characters but after a few seconds this misgiving melted away to be replaced initially with satisfaction then with delight. Seeing Karen Gillan's character sporting braids was almost too much though,she just fills the screen with her youthful beauty and she has a laid back seeming style of acting which lets you relax into the story. If you don't like a film to try and be your friend, don't watch it but if you want to get immersed in the lives of some very likable characters, give it a shot.

This movie begins with on screen text for exposition and gets worse from there...This is supposed to be a simple movie about a struggling writer who ends up having writers block and can't complete her second novel. But ends up being a frustrating story about a girl who had everything in the first place and gets everything else in the end.The first thirty minutes of this movie is actually a montage of how Karen Gillan's character becomes apparently Scotlands greatest writer after her first book. It goes on to force a subplot of a love triangle of two gorgeous successful men, to which there only apparent negative points is that they have a difference of opinion of her book title and movie adaption should be done. Finally it ends with the most inappropriate book launches in the history of literature.The acting is about the only thing that is OK about this movie, but even saying that, it is terribly cast... Karen Gillan is a great actress but they should have cast Martine McCutcheon as the awkward hipster book writer with a bad dress sense (That very dress sense which is the most frustrating thing about this movie as no women would leave the house in what Karen is dressed in in this movie... not even ironically), As she could have pulled off the awkward British comedy that they are going for...This movie is like a college graduates rejected short film that was dragged out into a feature movie... It really displays no good storytelling or film making skill. The main character is apparently a failing unsigned novelist at the beginning of the movie, who somehow can afford, not only a big apartment on her own with no job but also a house in the country side and a full wardrobe... Her antagonist is a Beautiful young Frenchman who owns his own small publishing firm that is going bankrupt even though he has the award winning best new writer on his books... There has been no thought given to the characters background, story or casting...It's a shame that this was made... Someone was lucky enough to get these skilled actors and crew and wasted it on this story... how it got funded is beyond me.Do yourself a favour... give this one a miss
