My Fiona (2021)
10/10
Some aspects are terrific, others less so, but overall very good, and definitely deserves a higher rating than the current 5.8

The grief of all the characters is well portrayed, complex, sad, interesting. The main relationship that develops doesn't seem fully fleshed out, and the explanation for the suicide is ambiguous (perhaps it was meant to be so). Excellent acting all around, and I was drawn in from the beginning with my interest never flagging.

There are at this point so few reviews that a single "1" score has dropped what would be about a 9 average down to a 5.8, which is definitely not fair or reasonable (numbers don't care, and as Mark Twain said, there are "lies, damn lies, and statistics."). My real rating would be an 8, but to bring the mean up I need to put a 10. I hope more people will do so as well. Just a few more 10s (or enough 9s or 8s) will drown out the outlier rating of 1, and thus cause the mean to represent a "true" reflection of people's opinions about this movie.

(It's very sad that the main character has died IRL. She was terrific in this role and seemed to have a very bright future in movies.)
