User Reviews
Don't get me wrong, the movie was entertaining, but felt dragged on near the end and didn't have the likable and connectable characters that Frances Ha had. The movie didn't have the impact that Frances Ha had because I couldn't connect with the characters.
The story was also very simple. Characters barely had an arc and remained basically the same. The most annoying part was that there were huge story elements that ended very abruptly and left me feeling unsatisfied with it's outcome.
Mistress America was okay. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. This movie disappointed me, Frances Ha was great and I wanted more of that type of movie. I expected the director to carry on that style of characters and story, but I didn't get that out of this movie.
