This one’s a toughie. It’s undeniably a well made film with very good performances… and it connects with me because at some times and at some walks in my life, I’ve been Daisy Ridley, floating just above or below the foam of everyone else’s day. But I can’t see anyone making a movie about my life (but, then again, I don’t look like Daisy Ridley) so what about this character and this slice of her life makes for a fun movie?

The flick stars Ridley as an average office drone going through her life in an unfocused office. Nobody notices her, she barely notices them. She lives inside her own beige sweaters. But then she’s asked out on a non-date date and she goes… and the guy thinks they connect but I doubt she thinks so.

There’s a believable, grounded, familiarity to this character and her world. It’s not about the drama, it’s not about the suspense, its barely about a story. It’s just living a solitary life where maybe you feel better after an argument because it means you can be alone on the floor at home, not having an argument any longer.

But, again, is this exciting or interesting? No, and it wasn’t meant to be. Did I enjoy it? I enjoyed the acting and I enjoyed the angle, but, If I’m being honest, I didn’t enjoy the film. It almost there, honestly, just for being true to itself. Aliens don’t invade, banks don’t get robbed, nobody poisons the donuts… it’s just an unremarkable life.
