Sonja Muller

This is one of the most underrated and underestimated movies I have almost ever watched. It is actually quite excellent with a cast that is so well suited to the script. It’s subtle and it has many themes to it and it’s a huge mistake for people to dismiss it because it wasn’t critically “accepted”. If I read about it - it’s now 9 years ago, it got caught up in some “woke” criticism. Emma Stone’s character, Allison Ng, was brilliant just as she was. An Asian actress wouldn’t have pulled it off as she did and I am sorry to hear she regretted making the movie because the criticism is really misplaced. Rachel MacAdam was outstanding as Tracy and one could feel her struggle and how much she loved Bradley Copper’s character and how relieved she was when he came back into her life. Honestly everyone was excellent - Alec Baldwin, Bill Murray, John Krasinski and others whose names I don’t know. Finally, the acting of Danielle Rose Russell, the young daughter, is one of the best I have seen of a teenager.. ever. The final scene was so powerful and possibly my favorite of any movie. Absolutely crazy this movie was panned and I find it annoying on some level. It’s on Netflix - watch it. Also makes one realize how dangerous private citizens are when they are the major actors in space. It almost feels more relevant now than ever. Lots of subtleties in the movie. Watch it. (Again) :)

This was an unexpected delight to watch, Rich characters that took one back to simpler times and, quite honestly, better times. Great acting with many new faces. It was funny and poignant at the same time. Loved this movie.
