I'm a modern-a woman. I listen to-a <PERSON>. I {bleeped} and-a I {bleeped}' And-a the mama said, 'You watch your fuckin-a mouth!' "

Pre Review: Really cute film. Seen it twice and love that there’s a Canadian film set in the 90s in Pixar’s canon. Its on the lower end of my presumed list, because I don’t love a film that feels so personal that it sounds like I’m just hearing one person’s experience. Art is a fantastic medium to share your story, but film is so collaborative, I get squirmy when it feels like I’m only hearing one person’s story through it. 80
I may be way off base in that take, but it is my experience.
Actual Review: OK. I figured it out so let me clarify. I don't like parent trauma narratives. I'm kind of in general bored by them. If there's one story line that equally bores me, its teens sneaking out to a concert. So this is like not at all my jam. However, it is a fantastic film with a great cast of characters and I feel really bad for initially putting it lower than Brave because they're the same movie, and this one is better. 596
