Synopsis
You’re never too old to come of age.
Louise, an aimless, 28 year-old Brooklynite, recently single, sort of a musician, depressed without admitting to it, drunkenly falls while doing something stupid and breaks her hip. This lands her in a physical therapy ward full of people twice her age. There, she meets Antonina - a cranky elderly Polish woman, who speaks no English. Louise gets a job caring for her. Neither woman loves the arrangement but it’s time to face the truth about aging. We all have to grow up sometime.

Score : 7.2/10 ✅
One more movie that confirms what I always thought – Karen Gillan has an authentic transparency to conduct humor with her gestures. She always brings something genuine and grounded to the characters she impersonates. Late Bloomers took advantage of that, making the movie much more companionable.
The whole main story isn’t necessarily special but the simplicity and the sweetness of the interactions between Louise and Antonina are winsome enough to evoke a concern for the subplot about Louise’s mother. (And yes, I did get emotional during the final song. Great part from Gillan).
It starts with this idea that a grumpy old person shouldn’t deserve a free pass if they are obnoxious. Then we learn our…
-
Amusing; bittersweet; familiar; likable; low-key; short; well-paced.
-
Karen Gillan's thoughts are consuming,
Not liking where is she rooming.
She wasn't equipped,
Hurting her hip,
Until it's time for some late blooming.

I didn't really like Late Bloomers. While I understand what the film is aiming for, it just didn't work for me. The execution definitely falls short. It's a story that's been told better before. However, it does have its moments, and I was engaged at the start. It seems to have all the right elements, but it never convinced me of its central relationship. I couldn't get completely invested because the characters weren't as fleshed out as I expected, and I didn't like them despite finding some relatable aspects. Most of the jokes fell flat, and the movie dragged on. It started off strong but became more tiresome as it progressed. It wasn't terrible, but I expected much more from it.

sweet and forgivably cliché. watched at a festival with a room packed full of elderly polish people, possibly the best crowd for this movie.
-
This movie evidently reinforces Karen Gillan’s versatility, however, as much as it is a sweet story, it was not as engaging as others have done with similar plots.

There used to be this commercial for E-Trade or something like it that my mom loved, which showed a person on a therapist's couch in a session with a therapist that starts to speak unsubtitled Polish. The commercial's tagline was like, "Get a broker who speaks your language," but as a Polish-speaker, my mom thought it was hilarious because she understood that the therapist was saying, "There's no ink in this pen. We can't start this session until I get a new pen."
Watching Late Bloomers gave me a similar feeling of being in on a joke that much of the audience was not. Whenever Antonina would repeat something Louise said, but in Polish, or say something insulting that slips…

Was not prepared for the shock of seeing Karen Gillan in mom jeans.
