It's how a painter grow up via the journey of herself from her home to a new place. The romance part is not strong but the way of how a painter become recognize is more the focus of the story. It's quite comfortable when watching indeed. Nothing huge but just cozy.
I found this film best to just flow with. Don't worry so much about motives and where it's going. The film itself is a work of art, like the art projects in the film... getting worked out, part of something larger, of people, of place, of journeys. Beautiful!!
This film, like all art, is in the perspective, and there is so much of it in this great little film. Characters you care about - one way or the other. People you know. Humor. Disappointment - in yourself and others. Some things in it sneak up on you. The one main art piece at the top of the world took my breath away! WOW! Watching the completion of "It" was worth watching the whole film. Now I want one. It's quiet. It's subtle. It's smart. Enjoy!
A simple story enlivened with humor and pathos. Excellent cast. Jenny Slate deserves more roles like this. Understated and thoughtful. Zack G's comic role is probably unnecessary but does deliver some nice laughs. Enjoyable and engaging.
This movie was beautiful, and Slate certainly delivered a great performance of a messy, figuring-out-life artist who makes a bold move. But the relationship they introduced, which could have been left as a wonderful stranger dynamic, totally took away from story. It felt abrupt and unnecessary, and it diminished the very real characters they had established fairly well in the first half of the film.

[Haldor and Fridge Girl watch Frances walking away]
Haldor: Sometimes I feel like I should just go home. Because I feel so much like a troll.
Fridge Girl: I like trolls. They're so strong and they're never afraid, and they work in dark, cold places. Like me.
