Sally Hawkins is phenomenal. Good story, funny and heartbreaking, and most importantly it's a highly entertaining movie.
Sally Hawkins is superb in this story about a woman who decides to be happy. Quirky and heartwarming
Quite charming and entertaining even if it's lack of story and character development
An uplifting movie about the day by day of an average woman that tries to find her place in the world.
All dialogue completely improvised. Practically that means it’s a bit meandering, but also very real and grounded. Interesting watch.
Just perfect character writing, the polar opposite of Hard Truths in terms of personality but just as good. We need more Poppies on screen
2.4 Actually is good, most people would enjoy, (just wish there was more to it).
Very light and fun but makes you think about what's important.
Not much happens but Sally Hawkins will pull you into this weird and wonderful story and hold you there. A must see.
Highly enjoyable, often funny, with a bit of happiness and sadness thrown in for good measure.
