Feb 21, 2021 Incredible and beautiful indie from Bradley Rust Gray! A must see. So stoic and bold, a beyond elegantly nuanced performance by Zoe Kazan, and a story well worth its own weight in gold! Definitely this gem whenever you can! See more Jul 4, 2014 I have never really noticed Zoe Kazan as an actress before and now I've all of a sudden seen five of her movies in a row. Sadly this was the only one I haven't really enjoyed out of the five. The storyline and acting was great, the filmography was great as well, especially in the beginning and end. I just found it very slow and it was quite difficult managing to sit all the way through, despite it being very short. See more Aug 30, 2013 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. See more Mar 20, 2013 The two things I remember about this movie: 1) The main character has epilepsy but that's not the point of the story. Both of the stars I gave the film are for the refreshing normalcy with which a "disabled" character is portrayed. 2) It's otherwise a movie about people not answering their cell phones when you want them to, providing a blow-by-blow account of nothing happening. See more Nov 27, 2012 This is reaaally slow. It was decent. Watch at your own risk. See more Apr 12, 2012 The Exploding Girl is kind of just a prototype of an independent film. It has scenes you've seen before, understated characters who go through hard times and mope around at parties, or have meaningless banter with their parents. Aside from being fairly well acted, this movie isn't much different than countless other indie films. The reason I like it is a purely egocentric one: I've found myself in situations like this before. Being a college student and observing the sort of innate transience of friendships, relationships, and environments, this movie did have some effect on me, despite the endless scenes of people walking or doing random things that establish far too much mood and far too little substance. I'd say there's a really great movie in here somewhere if ideas were expanded and the writer/director was willing to push a conventional film in a more audacious direction. See more Read all reviews
