Mr Right

My Take

Viewers, beware: Mr. Right is an intensely polarising movie. Either you surrender to its particular brand of insanity or you absolutely hate it. It’s a love story on drugs, a completely unhinged action comedy and, somehow, one of the sweetest films about finding someone with whom you can truly be yourself. Martha and Francis don’t merely tolerate each other’s strangeness: they recognise it, delight in it and bring out even more of it in one another. Martha, in particular, gradually stops restraining herself and blossoms into someone more confident, more unapologetically eccentric and ultimately more herself. “You’ll never be normal.” “Who wants to be normal anyway?”
