Movie Reviews : Mistress America (2015) HD Full Move
This is a great movie experience.
Feeling trapped in her college freshman year experience, Tracy calls and visits her soon-to-be sister Brooke. (Their parents are about to get married.) Tracy becomes more confident and self-assured during the course of her interaction with the lively Brooke. But even though Brooke is Tracy's inspiration, Brooke has not found a way to successfully live her own life.
The movie has so much more richness and depth than its basic plot. The other characters are very well drawn, and include Tony, a college buddy who relates to Tracy's loser self; Tony's comically possessive girlfriend, Nicolette; Brooke's old boyfriend Dylan, who is excited by Brooke's passion but understands her fundamental limitations, and Dylan's wife Mamie Claire, who was once Brooke's close friend and feels threatened by Brooke on multiple levels. Even minor characters play an important role: Someone who only knew Brooke in middle school and approaches her at a restaurant, providing piercing insight into Brooke's flawed psyche; Mamie Claire's pregnant visitor, who, like a member of a Greek chorus, observes and comments on the proceedings.
Throughout the movie, lines zing by to reinforce the movie's themes, like…
Tracy saying in a voice over that Brooke "has a face that makes you feel more pretty." That is, Tracy feels better and actually becomes better being around Brooke.
When tutoring Algebra, Brooke says "x can be anything, you can't pin it down," revealing as much about herself as about the properties of x.
