Unlovable (2018)
7/10
Now this was quite a surprisingly good movie...
12 May 2020
I happened to get the chance to watch the 2018 movie "Unlovable" from writers Charlene deGuzman, Sarah Adina Smith and Mark Duplass in 2020. I hadn't even heard of the movie, but still when presented with a chance to watch a movie I haven't already seen, I usually jump at said chance.

I didn't know anything about the movie, much less whom was starring in it. Nor did I even know what genre of movie I was in for.

Turns out that "Unlovable" was really a nice movie, and a very enjoyable movie as well. I found that the story was rather good, because it definitely felt realistic and had some very nice aspects to it. There are definitely things in here that people in the audience can relate to.

What really impressed me was the acting performances. Now, this was my first time to witness Charlene DeGuzman on the screen - or at least take notice of her. And wow, she is definitely talented, and carried the movie phenomenally with her performance. And John Hawkes was really nicely cast for the role of Jim, and he brought a lot to the movie with his performance and music, I will say that much.

"Unlovable" is a movie that sticks with you after you've seen it, given the combination of a proper and memorable storyline, but most certainly also because of some strong acting performances.

I was genuinely taken aback when I sat through this movie, and I must admit that I was really enjoying the story and the movie as a whole.

My rating of "Unlovable" is a seven out of ten stars. I can definitely recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch this movie from director Suzi Yoonessi, as it is very entertaining, enjoyable and it is actually a beautiful movie.
