Millie lies low is a beautiful coming of age drama with a difference. Millie is a complex young woman, grappling with the impacts of a disjointed social and multicultural up ringing. Yes she reflects every woman's pursuit to find their place in the world.

Beautifully written. Very enjoyable. Every minute is captivating.

Just watched at Berlinale. Had us laughing out loud, cringing, and feeling for Millie. So relateable, they did good to tell a story that makes you feel what thr protagonist feels. Also love that the protagonist didnt wear make up and was just generally an absolute independent badass. I love the feeling we are left with at the end, that we are all a bit flawed but also forgivable.

This is generally a good and funny film, and the viewer sympathizes with Millie wallowing in her self-imposed predicament. On the downside, it often lacked narrative drive, wasting time on scenes that don't go anywhere. The director also missed some opportunities for a Preston Sturges style comedy of social embarrassment. Still, it is definitely worth seeing.
