Critic Reviews for The Party's Just Beginning
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (5)
A strikingly odd and original debut that is admirable for taking the triple-threat of suicide, depression and addiction in its nonchalant stride, although the confusing presentation of separate timelines mutes the overall impact.
I can't help thinking Gillan's superpower as a writer and performer might actually be comedy. Still, always a compelling screen presence, she's now a film-maker to watch.
Gillan plays her messy, mournful role with unfussy integrity.
The movie's sneaky theme is anonymity as our 21st century cure-all for the burden of knowing too much and yet wondering if we really know anyone at all.
There's a real power to the filmmaking here; Gillan is, clearly, a force to be reckoned with.
The movie is wispy and meandering; it doesn't gather power as it goes along.
