With a beautiful piano score and a script that embraces the cutie-boy-next-door cliché without reservation, "Carrie Pilby" isn't a film that challenges the stereotypes of teen coming-of-age movies. The film tells the story of a girl who learns to reconnect with the world, with a lilting tone that is more sweet than bitter, and seems best suited to a young adult audience. Plus points for the Manhattan background and Bel Powley's solid performance
. A well-meaning but imperfect young-leaning comedy, this often clichéd tale isn't as smart or endearing as it might seem

When I watched it, I always felt that the heroine was familiar, and I thought hard for a long time. Isn't it the girl (Belle Polly) who played a sex scene with Alexander Skarsgard in "Girl's Diary"? Now she has grown up and started to play half-baked women. The American youth film is a genre, the plot development is all routine, easy and cute, a little trouble, but it was relieved in the end, but there is nothing outstanding about this film alone.

Carrie Pilby: There's a perfectly good reason I don't have any friends. Friends are people. And people are dishonest, ingenuine, and let's face it, not that smart.

Dr. Petrov: I'd appreciate you not listening in on my sessions.
Carrie Pilby: I'm sorry. The door was just flat enough for my ear.
