Perfect cast and a good story
Fantastic!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Shallow banal example of terrible acting no script no writing ability whatsoever superficial notat all believable for themost simple minded of people don't waste your time should have never been made boring Hollywood at it's worst incredible millions were spent making this moviethis ten lines nonsense is stupidthis site review is a farceAn effective review doesn't have to be ten lines longSomeone should create a better site than this one for reviews
Todd Louiso's "Hello I Must Be Going" stars Melanie Lynskey as Amy, a young woman who moves in with her wealthy parents after a bitter divorce.During "Going's" first act, Louiso indulges in light satire. Amy's wealthy parents are mocked for being vapid, a more liberal family are mocked for being airheads and a son fakes being gay in order to flatter his progressive, ultra-tolerant parents. The film then turns into a little Girl Power screed. Here Amy learns to sympathise with her mother, who's been neglected by Amy's oft absent father. Amy also has an affair with a nineteen year old guy (Christopher Abbott), and kicks away her ex-husband, an adulterous man whom Amy delights in milking for a divorce settlement. At first glance the film thus seems to be indulging in a little reverse-sexism, but Louiso has other intentions. Amy's dad is ultimately a nice guy and Abbott's character ultimately teaches Amy to love herself.Ever since "The Graduate" (1967) and "Harold and Maude" (1971), the older woman-younger man paradigm has been fairly mainstream. "Hello I Must Be Going", though, seems to offer the reverse of the countless indie films released annually in which a young, pixie faced woman exists only to "heal" the wounds of a depressed older man. And so here Amy self-identifies as a loser, incapable of being loved, an "ailment" which an incredulous fling promptly cures; nothing like being adored by a teenager, apparently, to kick-start your libido.6/10 – Worth one viewing.
This movie is great, very relaxing. It shows lovely meaningful story of two people and their families, love and simplicity. The simple things, the simplest pleasures of life like enjoying each other company, spending time talking endlessly, empathy, understanding, love, finding our way, fulfillment - the best things in life are for free. And indeed they are.It is good to be reminded about it. Allowing ourselves to stand up, make different decisions and start doing whats truly makes us happy is sometimes hard. But once we understand ourselves and go for what we love ... the ending must be much better then what we created up to now. I did very much enjoy this movie. Actors play is exquisite and frankly I am watching it on repeat now and its still great each time. I would love to see part two of it :)
Hello I Must Be Going doesn't really question the morality or credibility of its central theme -- romantic relationship between a woman and a man where she is almost a couple of decades older. The film cleverly escapes the creepiness surrounding it and actually ends up being very funny. It should be attributed to screenwriter Sarah Koskoff's unabashed celebration of the positive effects that sexual human contacts have on one's spirit, and female lead Melanie Lynskey's depressed yet oddly optimistic portrayal of the 30-something divorcée. For a Sundance Lab product, which often tends to be just dark and ambiguous, this is somewhat a refreshing change of tone.The only indie cliché this film resorts to is the background of its main characters, who are all connected to filmmaking. However, this convenient setting on the filmmakers' part is not a real problem with the film, as there is a tangible character development of a woman slowly reopening to her senses, which should easily resonate among general audiences. All in all, this is an easy-to-follow indie with no ambiguity that makes your head spin. It clearly has adult contents with a few f-bombs, but nothing too graphic, and offers a pretty relaxed and enjoyable narrative.
