Lucy Schulman is a movie set in New York City, that many women will be able to relate to. It’s a very human story about a young woman who falls head over heels for the guys she’s dating, neglects her friends and other responsibilities, only to get her heart broken, and then run back to the people she left behind. It’s definitely a story I could relate to, although more so on the side of the neglected friends.
Every time Lucy goes through a break up, she moves back in with her dad (played by David Cross). He’s a single dad and the two are very close; helping each other respond to dating messages, and taking fitness classes together. I absolutely loved their relationship and scenes they shared. Those were my favorite parts in the movie.
I liked this movie, but think I expected to love it more. I would have preferred fewer scenes with Lucy and the guys (although the first dates scene was very fun), and more scenes centered on her relationship with her father.
At its core, this is a coming of age story about a young woman trying to figure out her life.
The film was written, directed, and starred in by Ellie Sachs, whose performance I really enjoyed.
