Review of Flower

Flower (I) (2017)
6/10
Don't expect realism
23 January 2022
I would say this movie was more of a drama than it is a comedy. The main character, Erica, keeps things amusing for most of the duration with her Juno-like wit, but it doesn't have many actual laugh-out-loud moments. For the most part, it's a fun story and very well paced--it draws you in right away and keeps the plot moving constantly. However, the 17-year-old female protagonist felt more like a male fantasy than an actual person. It didn't stand out as much for the first two acts, but by the time it was all wrapped up, it felt like this very much came from the mind of a white male daydreaming about the excitement of spending time with an underage Manic Pixie Dream Girl. I can't deny that it had entertaining stretches, though, so it was worth a watch.
