The Most Notable Movie Coming To Netflix This Week
“Unicorn Store” | April 5
Premise: After failing in art school, a young woman (Brie Larson) moves back in with her parents. She fears her life has become irreparably stagnant while moping around Los Angeles and working a temp job. Through a bizarre invitation, the protagonist learns of a store that claims to be magical. When she visits the store, the salesman (Samuel L. Jackson) offers to sell her whatever she wants most. So the protagonist decides to purchase a unicorn. Before the store will sell her the mythical beast, though, she needs to readjust her life to become worthy of the purchase.
Sum-Up: Reviews have been kind of all over the place. The movie has a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 46 on Metacritic. According to these sites, the movie has an intense earnestness and definitely falls in the category of twee. Saccharine, heavy-handed storylines certainly aren’t for everyone, but at least this movie takes a few strange swings.
Heads-Up: The movie only runs 1 hour, 32 minutes. Even though Brie Larson’s directorial debut is pretty shaky, the time commitment to check this out is minimal.
