The Hater

I read all the reviews and was not at all surprised to find a lot of them polarized on real world politics instead of independent film story line politics. On both sides, I might add!! I thought about adding a star for all the haters and then decided not to do that. To me, it was a 6.5. And I rounded up. I always round up.

I do not understand the name of the movie, but won't share my thoughts on it here, because, it doesn't matter.

The movie!! It was a movie about a young politico growing up and accepting her adult position in a town that she grew up in, left, and returned to even though she hated it. Once she got back, she found herself figuring out ways to help her friends and help the town keep its old town charm.

You also see that a hella lot of political animals, no matter what button or color they wear are the same as everyone else. And that no one is perfect. Just like no movie or film is perfect.

Is it a laugh out loud movie? No. Is it a quiet movie? Yes. Will you like everything about it? Absolutely no - not unless you are Joey Ally who had all the hats on during the making of it.

If you are hyper political - don't watch it. You won't like it at all. Save yourself the time.

The basic premise of this movie is that all republicans are closet liberals. They make that point very subtly, I'll give them that. Pick a hot button topic and this movie brings it up and attempts to prove the liberal agenda is correct.

Really don't know what to say about this film, and not sure if I understand the agenda. Is it funny? No.

I enjoyed the first part with Brice Dern, the rest is questionable.

Do I understand the title? No Is this film important? Hell, no!

Great premise and real and really heartfelt script. In the end Dorothy does warm up to her hometown, she learns exactly how the folks on the right think and she reflects on the parts she may have played in her childhood bullying as well as is also confronted with a little bit of bullying she may have done of her own. Dorothy's character is transformed and completely evolved by the end of the story. EXCELLENT MOVIE!!

Great movie. Main character seemed annoying at first but does a good job overall. Would have loved it if it mentioned neoliberal donors owning both parties. But its nice to have movies like this as a conservative could never run a grass roots campaign in real life without any large donors as we rely on those. But other than that nicely done. As an open minded conservative this movie does a great job trying to appeal to everyone.
