How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2018)

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie is just weird in every way possible ,, and i think that what made it appealing and interesting to watch .. The story grows from a punk kid loves to rock to meeting that alien girl from the cult "of California :D" and they start living the punk life together.. The ending was so unexpected and surprisingly emotional.The story-line is well built and the events from start to finish are easily fathomable,, the casting was just amazing ,, loved Nicole Kidman and Ruth Wilson .. Nicole was so cool ... and Alex Sharp and the other two co-stars did an amazing job too.Recommended if you love weird sci-fi 80's style rock hip movies :D ,, if you don't love this movie you might actually hate it a lot ,, it just doesn't go in between.

'HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS AT PARTIES': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A sci-fi romcom directed by John Cameron Mitchell (who also helmed 'HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH' and 'SHORTBUS'), and written by Mitchell and Philippa Goslett. It's based on the short story (of the same name) by Neil Gaiman, and it tells the story of a young alien who separates from the group that she's touring the galaxy with, in order to get to know a young London punk better, named Enn. The film has received mixed reviews from critics, and it stars Alex Sharp, Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Ruth Wilson and Matt Lucas. Enn (Sharp) is a young misfit in London who really wants to be a punk. While attending a punk party, apparently full of beautiful foreign exchange students, Enn meets Zan (Fanning). Zan is also a misfit, who desperately wants to leave the group she's traveling with and join Enn on his adventures. What Enn also later finds out, is that Zan is actually an alien (and so are all of her friends). Enn must then defend Zan from her alien people, with the help of his London punk friends. The movie is zany, crazy and somewhat original. It's also got a great punk rock/sci-fi comedy feel to it (which are all things I like). With all the potential though, it seems like it should have delivered so much more. It is funny, mildly romantic and amusing enough though. Plus it's free to rent on Amazon Prime right now, which is where I saw it.

I really enjoyed this. Sat down and started watching. Was entertained from beginning to end. Visually en mentaly entertaining and a lovely funny love story set in 1977.

Although very messy and sometimes you catch yourself thinking that this isn't exactly the most cohesive thing in the world, the movie it's funny and completely ambitious when it comes to creative characters and unexpected plots. But then comes the first problem, the thousands of plots became unorganized with the time. It left me with some questions and instigated with a lot of thing from its own mythology that was never answered. Nevertheless, somehow it was always getting me more and more curious and that's a great thing considering the tons of confusing information the movie throws at its viewer. The directing is good, not else must be said. It hasn't showed me anything new, but it works most part of the time. About the cast, there's good performances here, most from the supporting actors - which sometimes steal the scenes -, and the leading ones delivers what is asked for. The Screenplay as it whole is far from perfection. Everything has to be put together by the audience, which receives no help at any moment. Is not like I'm asking for an explaining moment, but the information could be better told. A considerable part of the scenes are not well constructed. For example, a scene that passes during daylight goes straight to nighty plans, and then comes the sun again. I was pretty confused. However, the script is so different and interesting, and then when you see it, IT WORKS. There are credible lines, good characters - and a bit creepy, thanks to Mr. Neil Gaiman -, imaginative situations and the most important very entertaining. It made me laugh multiple times and that's what I was expecting from a comedy, so at that point, half way was done. Sadly it lacked on a better structure, because it had the potential to go all the way.
