Killing Mary Sue

So Mary Sue has a bit of baggage but every female superhero does, right? This film takes us on a joy ride of discovery, mayhem, humor, and tragedy. The sudden plot twists and stories within stories take us in a very entertaining and engaging romp. I can't believe that I became totally infatuated with the main character Mary Sue and I worried when she had self issues to deal with but was excited for her when she came to terms with who she is and where she is headed. My wife had issues with some of the violent bits but the action in this film was necessary to understand Mary Sue and to see what a few unpleasant moments in her life has done to shape her into the powerful woman that takes charge of her life going forward. I loved the fun and the film and hope to see much more from this fabulous team.

Had so much fun watching this film that was filled with surprising, clever, and laugh out loud moments all throughout. Creative, original, funny, dark and truly entertaining alongside excellent performances by the cast. I went in to the movie knowing nothing about it and surely didn't expect the wild ride that ensued. In a world where movies are increasingly re-makes or derivatives of other ideas it was so refreshing to watch something that was so novel in both its inception and execution. I look forward to watching again to catch many of the nuances that I most assuredly missed the first time around.

I had the opportunity to watch this movie with an audience and people were laughing and having a good time, it's not a serious movie it's silly and absurd and just entertaining great great performances from all the actors, lots and lots of fun. This film is unique nothing like anything I've seen before from start to finish keeps you interested it's the kind of movie you can watch more than once... happily. The main character who plays Mary Sue Sierra McCormick does a great job as does Martin Kove and Dermont Mulroney and Jake Busey all phenomenal performances and all the actors and actresses whose names you don't know did great jobs as well thoroughly enjoyed and was entertained from start to finish.

I had the opportunity to see the movie at the Big Apple Film Festival in a completely packed theatre in May. The film received an incredible reaction from the crowd, myself included. It was fun and funny - the film seemingly does not take itself seriously one bit but then sneaks up on you with an unexpected sentimentality. Lead actress Sierra McCormick gives a 10/10 performance. I also loved the soundtrack, including music from band Can't Tell You, which suits the plot and the opening scene exceedingly well for those who take the time to listen to the music and lyrics. I'm super excited to watch again now that it's available to stream!

"Killing Mary Sue" was such a fun journey from beginning to end. The story keeps unfolding in unexpected ways, constantly surprising you. There are some surreal moments that really elevate the dark comedy and make it even funnier and more exciting. It's sharp, well-written, well-directed, and the performances really sell it. Definitely worth watching-I recommend it!
