Killing Mary Sue

"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!

What a wild ride! Lol! This movie was creative storytelling + fantastic acting + great niche references ("Stop sweeping my leg!") + dark humor + a couple of hilarious punny names.

Bravo to all involved, in particular Sierra McCormick who killed it (literally and figuratively), Dermot Mulroney who captured the annoyed and aggrieved politician so poetically in this era, and James Sunshine, writer / editor / director. Although the tone of the film does not match his name, it was certainly a BRIGHT and well executed story!!

There is quite a bit of violence (as the name might suggest! Haha!), but my distaste for that is on me, not the film! The humor FAR outweighed the body count! Well done!!!

Killing Mary Sue" is a fun, fast-paced movie that's perfect to watch with a group of friends. I saw it in a packed theater during the LA Film Festival and had an absolute blast-can't recommend it enough. The performances are strong across the board, and the writing and editing are sharp, keeping you on the edge of your seat with no dull moments.

If you're expecting a heavy-handed political message, this probably isn't the film for you. But if you're in the mood for something that pokes fun at everyone equally and leans into absurdity purely for entertainment's sake, Killing Mary Sue is right up your alley. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes more popular as word spreads.

Loved this unique and fun satire that stands out with its clever writing and sharp delivery. James Sunshine has done a fantastic job both with the story and his distinctive directing style. The acting is spot-on across the board, with Sierra McCormick giving a particularly memorable performance. The film strikes a perfect balance-light in tone without ever feeling campy or forced. The pacing keeps things moving briskly, and the story unfolds with plenty of quirky twists and unexpected turns that keep you engaged throughout. It's refreshing, smart, and consistently entertaining. A really great watch!

This movie won Best Picture, best director, and best actor at the LA Independent Filmmakers Showcase and with good reason. It has a unique blend of dark humor, irreverent twists, and bloody action. Killing Mary Sue is low budget but doesn't take itself so seriously which totally works. The action is satisfying and quick editing keeps you entertained. The movie delivers on its unique concept which our main character is a mary-sue trope turned on its head, and great performances especially Sierra McCormick. Dermot Mulroney and Jake Busey together are a great combo and the whole host of oddball hitmen trying to take down Mary sue are a lot of fun to watch.
