Storytelling at it's best,this one just Isn't just a Slice of life, but a whole loaf! Oscar worthy story about lessons in parenting, teen choices, and coming of age. For me Laurie Metcalf as the stubborn Mom steals the show. At times you thought the movie was coming to an end to only find out the amazing ride wasn't quite finished. This was a beautiful ride you need to take yourself on, one that you won't want to end.

This movie totally misses the point. Between convincing actor performances and well placed funny moments it isn't possible not to notice, that this movie barely has a plot. Since "Boyhood" we know, that growing up is not an easy thing. So it takes a little bit more these days, than showing a few months in the adolescence phase of a young woman. Unfortunately this movie is heading nowhere. While watching it, you never know, when it could have it's last scene, because there isn't a story, that guides you through the film. Don't get me wrong: I don't have a problem, watching people doing just some stuff in movies in the first place. But in my opinion there is a huge gap between Noah Baumbach's "Frances Ha" or Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger than Paradise" e. g. and this movie. It's not a crime barely having a plot. The trick is to make your audience not notice it.
