To kick off this year's SWSX film festival, I'm going in blind. That's right; I have had no time, thanks to my boring day job, to really dig in to the films coming to Austin this year. Fortunately for me, CollegeMovieReview.com knows its stuff and chose well. I was assigned See Girl Run, a realistic romantic comedy about the ups and downs of real relationships and one young woman's "what if" from high school.
As the film started, it had a documentary feeling to it, which pleasantly misdirected and intrigued me. I applaud both director Nate Meyer and the entire cast for shaping a realistic story that everyone can relate to. Some part of me identified with each character involved, and I found myself expecting our protagonist Emmie to handle her "what if" one way (perhaps my way), yet understanding that others would feel totally different.
See Girl Run is an up close look at a situation we have all contemplated. It is sure to strike up some cooler side discussion as many will use it as free therapy.
