How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2018, D: Mitchell) S: Fanning, Sharp, Kidman

Enn (Alex Sharp) is a shy suburban London teenager in 1977, sneaking out with his best friends to after-hours punk parties. One night they stumble upon a bizarre gathering of sexy teenagers who seem like they are from another planet. In fact, they are from another planet, visiting Earth to complete a mysterious rite of passage. That doesn’t stop Enn from falling madly in love with Zan (Elle Fanning), a beautiful and rebellious alien teenager who, despite her allegiance to her strange colony, is fascinated by Enn. Together they embark on a delirious adventure through the kinetic punk rock world of 1970s London, inadvertently setting off a series of events that will lead to the ultimate showdown of punks vs. aliens, and test the limits of how far each of them will go for true love.

Huh. From the description, I hope the poster says, "Inspired by the title of the short story we bought the rights to by Neil Gaiman." Sounds like Act I is the story, the rest is Hollywood!

The poster and tag line remind me of Scott Pilgrim

Opens Friday, 37% on RT so far, but a higher than 5/10 average score: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/how...rls_at_parties

This is a "Still in Theaters" VOD release, so it will be available to rent/own on June 5th.

This is out on digital platforms throughout. The iTunes version has commentary, deleted scenes, etc., for $9.99. I blind bought it.

Funny you bumped this. I thought of this today. What did you think? Reviews seem very mixed.

I liked it a lot. I love Elle Fanning, so that was a plus. It's a total existential flick, but an entertaining one. It's not that much of a musical in the traditional sense. There are musical performances but people don't spontaneously start to sing to tell a story.

Glad I bought it and the fact that it was only $9.99 with a commentary and delete scenes is a plus.

Watched this in Prime over the weekend. It was pretty out there, but I enjoyed it. Loved the look and costumes. Elle (like her sister) is just such a great actress. She looks so young though, it can be hard to believe her in roles sometimes. But still great.
