Wonderful character development!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

while watching this movie i felt as if i were entering into her life as part of it. then suddenly you are a spectator of her story. then back to being part of her story.the viewer cannot 'not' get involved with this main character. the style of filming takes you in. you will hate her and you will feel sorry for her and you will like her, etc.the previous reviewers have already stated much of my thoughts and i agree with them. the director has taken something that could pass as a 'home movie' and made it 'high cinema'.i particularly liked her feeling of freedom while riding the motorcycle. maybe she felt as if she were flying free of the boundaries in her daily life.

I would be hard pressed to think of a movie I've seen......and I'll make a guess that I've seen upwards of 5000.....that has such a difficult to like leading character in it yet is so brilliant in depicting the almost constant chaos that comprises this young woman's life. I didn't think I would be able to endure it, not the least of it because the production design and the camera work augment her fractious state of mind. But I'm so absolutely pleased that I gave You Wont Miss Me a chance since the conception is so finely realized; it's almost like a surreal/real documentary of what her life is. Having said all of the above I can also fully understand why the movie would turn off audiences because of its lack of artifice. It's a fully realized and original movie.

Just saw this incredibly dynamic, kinetically charged film at MethodFest and it really shook me up. Perhaps partly because I aspire to this level of film-making, perhaps partly because it's one of the most honest, gripping and fiercely performed films I've seen in years -- I just lost myself in its tonal poetry, sexual urgency and cathartic danger. Ry Russo-Young was not only able to assemble a sparkling, freshly defiant cast -- but make what I would call a "complete" film --- the type of film that can only be created by a unique filmmaker with a strong, singular vision. The bombastic ride she takes us with with her lead actress (Stella Schnabel in a gut-wrenching, breakout performance) is like a tapestry of love, sex, deceit, failure and life.... always life, brimming on the streets of New York, in the audition rooms of pretentious theatre directors, in the heartbreak of a girl so sure of herself, she can't realize how broken she very well might be. See it, request it, watch it. WPS
