It was good while it was a coming of age film. Good cast and quite engaging.

As an ET-meets-Iron Giant film, though...it was just ok. The last 30 minutes felt incredibly long and I kept wishing they had just stuck with them making a film.

It's a timeless classic.
The songs are catchy, the dialogue is witty and the story is intruiging. My girlfriend hates musicals, but this quickly became her favourite film and now we quote (and sing) from it often.

Is it perfect? No. Is it a fun film? Absolutely.

Ahead of it's time. Identity theft and hacking are both a major concern, especially in the digital age. Interesting to see them covered 30 years ago.

Sandra's character was pretty smart at times and capable of defending herself, which was refreshing to see. Not something I'd watch again, especially since it was more of a typical thriller, but the premise was definitely unique (for the time, anyway).

It's definitely a slow burn. It requires patience, which (in my opinion) is well rewarded. It feels like a dream, or a nightmare in this case. Very unique and definitely left me feeling quite unsettled.

I'm confused by the comments, though. The one who said "Literally nothing happens" doesn't make sense, because a lot happens in this film. It's more than whispers and cartoons, and it's certainly not a found footage film like Blair Witch.

It's obviously not for everyone, but I liked it.

Despite being set in the 1970's, it still somehow sums up society perfectly. This is either a good or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
