Finally - I'd been waiting to see this for a few weeks! And it didn't disappoint- Diablo Cody's screenplay is as clever as Juno, but without the whiplash pace. The movie is funny, but starts off with the main character's dark oddities, and just descends ever deeper into her psychoses as well as the darkness she exposes/reveals in those around her. It refuses to wrap up any of the characters or their problems at the end - it's more a slice-of-life anecdote than a Story. For non-Charlize fans, she does an excellent job in this one. For non-Patton-Oswalt fans, do you exist? Really? I don't believe it. I really liked Young Adult - it's still haunting me a couple of weeks later.
4/5
