I Believe in Unicorns

"I Believe in Unicorns" was an outstanding movie. It had elements to it that helped to make it the movie that it is. I thought that the way it was filmed and how cut to different parts was really neat, and you sort of in a way had to put the movie together like a puzzle which I liked. I also really liked the soundtrack of "I believe in Unicorns," it matched the vibe of the movie perfectly and even added to the plot at times. "I believe in Unicorns" was quiet but the quietness of the movie helps create the perfect atmosphere and it too helps to tell a story all without even saying much. I really liked this movie and it's definitely one of my favorites.

The movie is kinda cringe. Starting from when the dude is rolling across on top of her, to putting a carrot on a horses head, to making snow angels on hay, and to licking on temporary tattoos on eachother. Lol what in the world am I watching? The filming is artsy which is interesting but the story is boring. Maybe I would have liked this as a teenager and I'm just too old. I'm not sure. The actress from the ozarks is in here which was a nice surprise. I wish she had more of a role in the story. There are a lot of scenes of the couple just cruising in their car in a boring rural area. If you have nothing to do I guess watch it.

I think the movie is very good. Reminded me of the Virgin Suicides a little. The plot is strong and moves ahead confidently. I think anyone who has been a teenage girl will feel the emotion in it. The story is unique. I would like to see more of the director's movies.

Looking at the titles chosen for the ICM Film Festival,this one and Ivy stood out as the ones that would be hardest to find. Getting lucky in stumbling on Ivy,I just could not find this film anywhere. Wanting to find all the movies so that a fellow IMDber could also see them,I did an extensive search over the weekend,and by pure chance,was able to finally start believing in unicorns. The plot: Taking care of her ill mum since she was a child, Davina dreams of traveling to a world of knights in shining armour, dinosaurs,and shining unicorns. Getting closer to her long-term crush Sterling,Davina starts to look towards the open world. Going on a road trip with Sterling, Davina discovers a world far from her fantasies. View on the film: Seamlessly blending earthy drama with handmade flight of fantasy,writer/director Leah Meyerhoff & cinematographer Jarin Blaschke give Sterling and Davina's road trip in incredible Mumblecore intimacy,with a light colour stylisation and fragile camera moves bringing out the raw emotion between the couple. Dipping into Davina's imagination, Meyerhoff brings her dreams to life with a sweet kooky vibe,where the colourful stop-motion animation neatly contrasts the rustic,dusty appearance of the open road. Layering their travels with Davina's narration, the screenplay by Meyerhoff drives into a Showgaze groove,with Davina and Sterling's exchanges hanging in the air with an awkward warmth, and a deep feeling of a passage of time gliding pass Davina's fantasies fading into the distance. Sitting next to Peter Vack's great, rough round the edges performance as Sterling, Natalia Dyer gives an excellent,attention-grabbing performance as Davina,whose expresses face chimes with the whimsical and the melancholy of Davina's unicorn dreams.
