Leave your thoughts about You Wont Miss Me.
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA woozy, quasi-experimental travelogue through twentysomething malaise, anchored by a superb turn from Stella Schnabel, daughter of filmmaker Julian. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA poignant, true-to-life portrait of an emotionally scarred, lonely and depressed soul struggling to grow up in this often cold, alienating world. Stella Schnabel delivers a raw, captivating performance. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe movie achieves its own nervy sensitivity about youthful urban despair. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFor all its many irritations, You Wont Miss Me has undeniable punch, a frayed energy that feels janglingly unstable. |
| New York PressLeslie StonebrakerRusso-Young has elevated style so far above content that she has lost the plot |
| New York PostKyle SmithNever amounts to anything more than a rambling, studenty exercise in undergraduate cinema vérité. |
| User ReviewEduardo Sme ENCANTO, me llego completamente, de esas pelÃculas que se disfrutan desde el minuto 0. |
| User ReviewPaulita CMuy buen retrato de esta generaciòn asi como los dilemas transgeneracionales, super urbana, Stella Schnabel, BRILLANTE. |
| User ReviewMatthew SWhile it often verges toward becoming tiresome and tedious, Ry Russo-Young manages to hold the film together with a constant feeling of dread. It stays with you and offers a disturbing glimpse into urban youth. |
| User ReviewWalter M"You Won't Miss Me" starts with Shelly(Stella Schnabel, who also co-wrote) being told by her therapist that she is not mentally ill enough to stay at the hospital anymore. On the other hand, there is the issue of drugs which she consumes with friends before hooking up with one for the night. Otherwise, she goes out for acting auditions while making a film with another friend. Without much of a story to speak of, "You Won't Miss Me" still manages to stand on its own as a character study of somebody who is not impossible, just difficult. In fact, the only scene I had trouble watching was Shelly smoking in the hotel lobby probably because it was so unnecessary a confrontation it had to be a performance. Admittedly, Shelly finds drugs as a temporary escape from her life, of which the same thing could be said of her acting where she tries on different personas like clothes. In the process, she is exposed to new ideas and people while not being fond of the professional side of the acting process. |
