Why Brie Larson is so damn cute?
As a adult, maybe you wont like the movie cause it is a little bit childish but if you have a colourful soul, you're gonna like it.
It's not very often that I don't enjoy films but this one just didn't really do it for me. I spent a lot of the film being very confused and not really understanding why this story was being told. To me it seemed like Brie Larson really needed to get something off her chest with this and nothing gives you a good reason to be over the top than "I'm playing a character".
I wouldn't recommend watching this film because you get nothing from it, no message or lesson (that I got anyway), some cringe moments but acting was very good. I've seen other reviews enjoyed the film, which is why I chose to watch it, but I was disappointed.

I keep coming back to this film. It is my current happy place.
This felt like an ode to millennials. I thought it was really sweet and hopeful overall.
Whatever she was smoking during the writing and directing of this, I want some...
I watched this while I was having a really hard time and it was the only thing that managed to put a smile on my face. Be it because of its simplicity, or because I actually love unicorns, this movie was exactly what I needed.
Don't overthink it. Don't over analyze it. Some things are meant to be enjoyed just the way they are.
This movie was...odd. It focuses on an eccentric woman learning to accept herself and stop trying to conform, about finding people who can accept her, but the whole process was so odd. She gets a job with a creepy boss her smells her hair and vaguely hits on her. He gives her a chance to make a presentation which seems to be the whole point of the job narrative and that could have been done without the creepy hair smelling. And in the end she doesn't get the job, she blows the presentation, she doesn't start painting again, she doesn't really figure out much of anything except making a friend. And while the emotional process was the point, some portions of it were so random, weird or creepy that the whole thing just felt a bit weird.
Wasn't expecting much but it's a silly and really cute flick. :)
To the child in all of us, especially to those of us who still believe in unicorns, this is an uplifting and magical slice of whimsy.
i liked this! i only felt the end was a little cliche. yeah, she didn't need the unicorn but she had wanted one her whole life! i dont think i would choose not to take it.
suddenly i believe in unicorns
Brie Larson and Netflix have both been responsible for mild disappointment this year, so I guess Unicorn Store’s quality makes sense.
I have been a fan of Brie Larson as an actress for quite some time now so seeing her overly stoic performance in Captain Marvel and especially her inconsistently overly the top character in this film was quite a shock. The problem seems to come from Larson’s direction, the film lacks focus and all of the performances feel unmanaged and all over the place. The film lacks the unique visual style that an indie film like this really needs to win over its audience and as a result it never manages to fully work for me.
The story itself should take some of the blame for this film just not working however as it is just not clear who the demographic for this is and what message the writer (Samantha McIntyre) wanted to give to them. On the outset this is children’s film or at least a family film but the countless office based scenes and sub-plot about sexual harassment make this a strange choice to show a child.
Despite all this, Unicorn Store is far from the worst of the year. With a more seasoned director and maybe an extra re-write this could be salvaged. Indie films with stranger concepts have become classics. As it stands Unicorn Store joins a very select group of films that are both too quirky and too generic at the same time.
I compare this to some of the films that Zooey Deschanel would star in during the ‘00s, so if there is any hope Larson will star in her own (500) Days of Summer type satire of her current works. But until then this is what we have, here hoping that Endgame will give her some much needed positive attention, if not Room still exists.
Brie Larson is delightful. She is so charming and charismatic. The story is a little silly but has a good message.
As a graphic designer there's so much around this that is so easily relatable that makes this feel a celebration of life.
Good! 7/10
10 mins in, i didn't knew what the target audience was. 20 minutes in i knew i was not on that and if I´m going to be honest, i can´t figure it out.
A great cast, most importantly Brie Larson, manage to wrangle this sometimes a bit bumpy story into something weird, adorable and mostly funny that's worth watching at least once.
Also, weirdest MCU prequel ever.
As unique (quirky, odd) as you might surmise a movie called THE UNICORN STORE might be, however, if you don't mind those adjectives, you might like this movie, if you do. then you'll think this movie is a waste of time. One downfall of this film is that it doesn't answer its own questions. It talks about living in a world while marching to your own beat but it doesn't give you any hope that it can be done. The story has a pretty hazy resolve. The strengths of this movie are Brie Larson and Brie Larson. Her woman/child performance carries the nuances of all her roles - she communicates more than her lines. It was also her directorial debute (at TIFF) after she won her Oscar for THE ROOM and before her skyrocketing success as CAPTAIN MARVEL. The only rooted character in this fantasy is played by Mamoudou Athie who was new to me but is someone I will watch for, in the future. I give this film a 7 (eccentric) out of 10, or, for those who aren't unconventionally oriented, a 2 (terrible). Available on Netflix. [Millennial Fantasy]
The best Diet Coke ad I've ever seen.
With Brie Larson being so prominent in movie news recently, and as I'm not a big superhero movie fan, I thought this would be a great choice to check out what she can do, sadly I was very wrong. It's an incredibly shallow movie that wants really badly to be deep and meaningful.
Apart from its obvious goal to be deep and meaningful though it has no idea what else it wants to be. It's rather schizophrenic in that a lot of the movie appears to have been written by a bored nine-year-old girl who isn't allowed outside to play because it's raining, but other parts feel like they were written by a jaded hack writer who's been forced to take a nine-to-five job in an office and wants to get their own back.
The part where Kit's (Larson's character) new boss complains about there being such a lack of imagination around here was speaking more about the film itself than anything else. I know it was Larson's first try at directing, but she did a very poor job, it was terribly uneaven, unimaginative, and batters you over the head with what she probably thought were subtitles. The acting (if I even dare call it that) was terrible from everybody, including a few of the cast who normally can turn in a good to great performance. And the dialogue was terrible, possibly the worst part of the movie. It was back to the nine-year-old girl writing what she thinks is the way witty and clever grown-ups talk and missing the mark dramatically.
This is all somewhat of a shame because with a good rewrite and somebody with more experience and vision at the helm, this could have been a really good little movie.
Kind of simple, but I ended up liking it, Im not into family friendly movies but this one was actually meaningful and in some way good, give this one an opportunity.
Above all things, it's just very relatable.
Captain Marvel, Nick Fury and Dopinder.
