So, this film, 'Why Not Choose Love: A Mary Pickford Manifesto,' dives into Mary Pickford's life, and it does so with a kind of reflective tone that feels very intimate. The pacing has its moments where it lingers on her struggles, especially as a woman navigating the early Hollywood landscape. The drama unfolds through her personal and professional choices, revealing the complexities behind the persona of America's Sweetheart. I found the performances to be earnest, though the direction sometimes feels a bit uneven. It’s not just another biopic; it’s more about identity, legacy, and the price of fame. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the storytelling, which feels fitting for a film about a silent film star.
