Estevan M @Nine-11Victim 3d SHES A GIRL SHES A GIRL NOT A DUDE SHES A GIRL SHEEEES A GIRRRRRRRRRLLLLL!!!!! KAY WHY ES ELLIOT PAGE!!! See more Marco L @decatur555 Jul 22 Tallulah is a sad, uncomfortable and deeply human drama built around one impulsive decision. Elliot Page is excellent as a homeless young woman who takes a neglected child from a hotel room and then becomes trapped inside an increasingly complicated lie. What makes the film work is that you cannot approve of what Tallulah does, but you can understand the panic and instinct behind it. Allison Janney is equally strong as a lonely woman who unexpectedly finds herself caring for both Tallulah and the child, while Tammy Blanchard avoids turning the mother into a simple villain. Throughout the film, one question remains impossible to ignore: why did Tallulah not return to the hotel and tell the police what had happened? Strong performances turn a potentially melodramatic story into something moving and surprisingly human.

There is also a bourgeois lady who accompanies her through the streets without ceasing to be bourgeois and a frivolous mother who wants to recover her baby but doesn't care much about her. Absurd? Not much, if we embrace the post modern ethos that still dominate the arts and humanities. Then, aberrant behavior might suddenly appear normal.

See more Chris F @RT52347836 09/06/2023 A very odd, very complicated film. It struggles a bit to wrap up all its ideas and thoughts together. The film can be messy and disjointed. But at the same time, I don't feel like that was a concern. Maybe the disjointed nature serves the unclean, unfixed characters. Unfortunately, however, because the show is so disjointed, it comes off as a bit muddled and confused. It has these real core ideas that it wants to express, but it's as if it gets confused along the way on how to express them. It focuses on this idea of being all alone, and struggling, while eventually finding family; it also has these philosophical ideas such as gravity and people's place in the world; it also has these ideas of femininity and motherhood, and how it's not as clean and clear-cut as many people play it off to be. Yet, because the film tries to express all things things at once, it never felt like any of them landed. This is compounded by the nature of storytelling itself, where there has to be a beginning, middle, and end. It's the end where everything struggles to wrap up. Just like a baby's room, with their toys scattered everywhere, it was a lot of fun for them in the moment, but now you're left with the mess to clean up as the parent, and the parents of this film just didn't really know where everything belonged. Is that a bad thing? No, I think the film is quite good. And it almost deserves even higher praise for Page's phenomenal acting, which shines like a beacon in many scenes. But ultimately, a great actor can fixed a funky script. It's a good, intimate, grungy movie. And it's fine for what it is. But it can never really escape itself and transcend into something more.
