Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

This is a great little "coming of age", literal search for identity in an extra-ordinary young woman placed in a situation to "catch up " with her peers.

Firstly, I'm calling a lot of flags on this play because she's got a photographic memory, she's graduated from Harvard (she clearly could have gone on to get a Master's and a Doctorate), she's pretty much smarter than everyone, and she comes from a wealthy family that is paying for her life.

Now, that said, her problems are still legitimate problems: they could just easily be SO MUCH WORSE. My biggest problem is that she learned all this crap because she was told to without any real direction in life and could be doing anything she actually wanted, but she wasn't given a support system to put her on a path to where she could be happy without this movie. But since we're in a universe where she was "shipped off", this is an emotionally centered piece where she is battling with social connection as well as the emotions involved and finally being faced with a place she could fail.

I have a feeling that straight women are going to connect more with this movie that other demographics as it does focus a lot on what it means to have the appreciation of different men, and / or whether that validates part of you (as a woman) as a person.

To me, it has a funny moral of "No matter your advantages, life will kick you while you're down."

Bel Powley kills it, as it is almost a one woman show with rotating support characters (/ villains?), and she does a significantly large portion of the work.
