A Name

I personally really enjoyed this movie. It’s one I can easily say I will go back and watch many times over. While it if a far cry from the best movie, it is still a good one. It was enjoyable to watch and what I would consider a good background movie; something you can play on your tv while lounging around on your phone (though I’d recommend watching it in its entirety at least once). It did start off a bit slow, but that exactly the premise. I do feel the ending was a bit rushed, the movie should have been a bit longer and included more scenes building Chan and Gatsby’s relationship. Overall though, I really did enjoy it and have watched it multiple times since finding it. Really is a nice movie to just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

It was a beautiful movie. Slow at some points but emotional the whole way through. There were many touching moments such as everyone banding together for Billy’s test or talking about Sam’s boy troubles. There were many sad moments such as Rachel opening up about her mom. And there were many fun and humorous part such Billy running wildly down the hall or everyone jamming out in the car. It was absolutely beautiful to watch. It is, albeit, a movie not for everyone. The movie easily captures the audience it portrays: people interested in the arts, be it theatrical, literary, physical, etc. But it can easily be lost to those who aren’t. Either way, I felt it captured the mental turmoil and loneliness and lack of self-certainty in each character. While Rachel and Billy were easier to see it in, it still managed to portray the troubles, however big or small, that Margot and Sam were facing as well.
