Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The_late_Buddy_Ryan There are good bad movies (as favored by the likes of Juno and Quentin Tarantino) and bad good movies like this one. I won't spoil the opening scene, a flashforward, except to say that we see two young women with their carts in a grocery store, one kind of punky, the other kind of preppy; the punky one accosts the preppy and does something pretty creepy that makes the preppy scream. The punky one walks away with a satisfied smile, and you may find it hard to stop watching after that. (Full disclosure: my wife found it all too easy…) Katie O'Grady does just fine as Meris, a sweet, self-contained young woman (though we recognize her as the punky girl from the opening scene), nervous as a whippet, who can't catch a break from her husband's high-school buds and their mean-girl wives when they relocate from California to his hometown in Oregon. When husband Mitch's old girlfriend (played, in a bit of overdetermined casting, by busty 6' cabaret singer Storm Large) turns up, the die is cast. "I hate alternative lifestyle people," says one of the film's minor characters, a prissy clerk in a candy store, but surely such people are the only conceivable audience for this film. After Mitch does what's expected, Meris tries out a new bizarro-world identity as an over-age riot grrrl, then slowly gropes her way back to where she once belonged. Writer-director James Westby seems more comfortable writing dialogue for the manager of an all-vinyl record store, say, than for a biker or a freak grrrl or an IT guy with a wife, a lawn and a dog, and the script gets very shaky at times. There's a flimsy subplot, for example, in which Meris makes friends with a Middle Eastern–looking couple with a cute baby, then shuns them after Mitch's dufus posse starts jabbering about "sand (N words)" with "Al Qaeda connections." You'd think that at that point Meris would be delighted to find a few friends of her own who weren't hostile jackasses. (And till then, btw, I'd assumed the woman with the baby was supposed to be Israeli.) To sum up, then, it's not "A Letter from Three Wives" or "Annie Hall," but "Rid of Me" is still good, harmless streaming Netflix fun, and there's a fine soundtrack; the cultist South Asian rock (Cambodian in this case) from the 60s seemed like a bit of a rip from "Ghost World" but at least that's stealing from the best.

krista-santos30 I can honestly say that this is my favorite now because I relate to it so much.I think that anyone that suffers from social anxiety/awkwardness, lack of social awareness, depression, has gone through a recent personal growth, rebellious phase, or relationship troubles should probably watch this film. I also honestly think that females will relate to this more... and to be frank, females that have experience being an outcast.I personally think this film helps the viewer to relate to a character that suffers from being out of place and naive through a difficult journey of starting over and finding an inner strength and independence.I related to this film so much and anyone that doesn't... well to be frank... is probably a preppy spoiled brat that had a life that just came easy to them, or is just a heartless bastard, or defensive about an insecurity their in denial about.I know that was an emphatic statement about the film, but it was a very touching film, and I think the "darkness" in it kind of reflects the fury of outcasts in a very relate able way. I think it also may teach women to not mother their men so much either.So many themes in the movie and messages that are so powerful. I love this movie! Anybody that doesn't take anything from this movie is very narrow minded and shallow.

Lavanda Romero Awww, too bad! The characters, both protagonist and secondary are very forced. By this, I mean, I think the writers (?) director (?) are trying too hard. Ex-girlfriend named Brianne?! I didn't feel as much sympathy for Meris as I should have nor did I hate the group or Mitch's friends as much as the writers as the writers (?) director (?) probably hoped the audience would. Maybe they're all supposed to be all stilted like that. And maybe I just don't get it. The acting just isn't that great, I was not convinced by many of them. Opening scene quite heavy-handed. Turn off. I'm 15 minutes in to this film. I might give it the air...

indiepixie Rid of Me is an experience. Be prepared to cringe, laugh and maybe cry, because Katie O'Grady makes this journey devastatingly real. As Meris, she conjures the realization of our worst fears and insecurities and demonstrates the graceless and mortifying path back to redemption. There's no romanticizing the painful detours a life can take in this film and there's really nothing tidy and formulaic about it. Definitely something different. And me, I love this stuff. As gut-wrenching as it was to watch at times, it was also full of quirky characters and well-timed comic relief. Good stuff!
