Ellen Page (1 more)
Great dialogue
Very funny
A very good, funny and witty coming of age comedy as a young girl comes to terms with falling pregnant. It has some sharp dialogue and Ellen Page is good as the smart ass kid that always has a sarcastic remark at the ready. You'll like it depending on your sense of humour but it has a good strong cast too.

This movie was Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, and she did a really good job. The small, po-dunk town was portrayed honestly and well. The roller derby action was shot so well, and it happened to take place in my home town, so I'm partial.
Ellen Page was great as the main character, she was pitch perfect. This is also only one of two movies I can stand Kristen Wiig in, which is really saying something.

Weirdly interesting
Kind of hard to describe details of this film without giving things away.
Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page are mesmerizing both playing deeply flawed characters in this very interesting film. The movie will make you cry, wince, cringe and be disgusted all at the same time and different emotions throughout as you try and figure out character motives and backstories.
I enjoy a thriller you can't figure out, and this one definitely foots the bill. The heavy plot is not for everyone so be warned.

Damn good and entirely satisfying
Every time I read reviews from this movie I always see men saying that they feel kind of sorry for the pedophile(though ultimately got what he deserved) in this movie and it blows my mind, because throughout the entire movie I found myself rooting for Hayley a 14-year-old girl who has taken to hunting down the pedophiles who had something to do with the disappearance rape and murder of another young girl.
Ellen Page plays Hayley so perfect that even through the most graphic scenes she holds this innocence about her that just makes her performance all the more effective.

Flatliners flatlined
Movie was interesting in building up the science behind what could happen after we pass. Better then the original in that aspect, otherwise it turned mundane and monotonous. Could tell where everything was going step by step. Jump scares were predictable, acting was subpar (even for "Juno" star Ellen Page). I was disappointed in this remake overall. Wanted to see more setup then, jumping right into killing each other.

Superheroes, time travel, doughnuts and talking chimps
Contains spoilers, click to show
Another day another superhero tv show - right?? Well this one is really something special. Was hooked from episode 1. The best way I can describe it is a not as dark watchmen tv series. Bunch of kids with powers adopted by man who turns them into a superhero team. Years later they reunite when their 'father' dies. Then happens time travel, drugs, assassins, talking chimps, bird watching, robots, JFK conspiracies, the apocalypse and doughnuts! Like watchmen this has an amazing soundtrack which adds to the quality of the show. This would get 10 out of 10 but I just find Ellen Page terrible and every scene with her just made me cringe so (SPOILER) when she turns out to be the villain (sort of) I was quite pleased!! Watch this show!!!

This was amazing, diverse, colourful, and beautifully done

This is a story of Anna, the owner of a big old house in San Francisco. Her lodger, or her family as she calls them, are primarily LGBTQI +. The story delves into their lives, their troubles and strifes but all in all, the story is brought back to Anna. The back story to Anna's life is great. Anna, it turns out, is a trans woman who has hidden her secret from her lodgers, not because she is ashamed, but because of the way she got the house in the first place. I liked the fact that the story could hold its own and not center too much around Ellen Page, whose character is equal to the others. This is an important Netflix show with an inclusive, well rounded story. I loved it so much.
