Excellent, a Must See

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

After watching Chalamet's impressive work in Call Me By Your Name, I watched Julia Hart's Miss Stevens and I got to say; I was not disappointed.Chalamet once again shows range that of an actor beyond his years. His portrayal of a teenager with mental illness is perfect, with just enough maturity and youthful energy to the role. Timothée Chalamet understands what it means to be an actor, he slips away into the character of Billy, making Timothée's performance memorable.Now, I watched Miss Stevens knowing nothing about Lily Rabe. I discovered her skill as an actress is perhaps just as excellent as Natalie Portman's or Amy Adams. She taps into this very realistic depiction of a young teacher that she depicts with such subtlety; she can break your heart, rebuild it and do it all over again. I frankly find it hard to believe Rabe isn't up with the great actresses of today!Overall, Miss Stevens is not a masterpiece, but it's performances make it sure seem like it. This is the kind of movie you can watch and always be surprised. I can't wait to see more of Chalamet and Rabe.

Was pleasantly surprised by this intriguing little film. All the acting is superb and you do find yourself emotionally investing in the characters. Lili Reinhart shines in every scene she's in, making the most of her character and packing a great punch with her sadly limited screen time. Let down - the ending is a little 'meh' and not much happens. But all in all it's really nice to catch these kinds of unique films and to know they are still being made.

I really enjoyed Miss Stevens in a way I didn't think I would. The story was emotional, felt real and really drew me in. There were some moments especially in the first act that almost felt like something big was going to happen but it never did. But that just added to the feeling of honesty and reality that I love in this movie. All the acting is top notch especially from Timothée Chalamet. His performance is layered and touching and he is incredibly magnetic to watch. Check this movie out if you have 90 minutes to kill and have a Netflix account. You won't be disappointed.

Of course Miss Steven was dull & mediocre; it was produced & written by the producer of La La Land.
