About This Movie

Carrie Pilby is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama, following a 19-year-old prodigy who's just a bit too smart for her own good. The film has this charmingly awkward tone, capturing that isolated feeling of being a young genius in a city that feels both overwhelming and exciting. The pacing's a bit uneven, but it fits the character's journey as she navigates the NYC dating scene, which is just as messy and unpredictable as you'd expect. The performances, especially from the lead, really pull you in – there's a rawness to her struggles that feels authentic. It's not your typical coming-of-age story, and that’s what sets it apart, really. There's a nice mix of humor and introspection that lingers long after the credits roll.
