Darby Forever (2016)

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

An Exercise In Nonsense

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I identified strongly with Darby, because I often find myself lost in daydreams of the most ridiculous, silly things. I immediately fell in love with relatable Darby and her imaginative coping mechanisms. It's a very simple short film with a very simple plot and very simple dialogue, but that's part of what makes it so great. Taking mundane everyday experiences and crafting something beautiful out of them is not only what the creators of this film did, but it's also what Darby does. I love that Darby works in a craft shop - the shop is cluttered, colorful, and full of endless possibilities, just like Darby herself. I absolutely adored this short film and I highly recommend watching it!

So I really liked the movie a lot! Aidy Bryant was so good at playing this really awkward, voice-cracky, shy girl. The "Darby and the Bad Girls" music video was awesome and so was Aidy Bryant's laugh when Nick said they were thirsty. Only thing that bugged me was that there was a scene where Darby pours clean water down the sink...like someone could have drank that! There's a drought probably where you're filming that! I like to think they had a bowl underneath that pipe that didn't connect so when she poured the water it went into a bowl and collected (and that the pipes are clean too of course). And maybe a dog drank it or it got poured into plants maybe. Awesome movie, I give it two thumbs up and a head nod of respect.Also I'm only half way through the movie haha but i bet it ends good

I really like Aidy Bryant, I'm very happy for her that she's making a start in her comedy acting career. However, I think this short wasn't funny or that entertaining because I felt it was just the lazy way to make it so good. Alright, its only 18 minutes but they could at least have a better storyline, better actors with Bryant so that it would make it even more successful for people to watch it!I think if I ever see her in other big movies, it would make her even more famous and well loved like the other SNL cast members who were a success in their careers. I see a definite sign that she would become successful in the future but not with this movie I'm afraid...
