This film about emotional baggage has brilliant simplicity in its hi-octane mix

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2011)

Every so often you come across a film with so many layers of complexity on what appears to be a simple subject you either become engaged in the drama of it all or have a headache by the end. The therapy of reversing this in Scott Pilrim Vs The World is so cathartic, refreshing and entertaining who could be left with a headache? Certainly not the cast and crew of this wonderfully original take on love in all its many guises. And certainly not the audience, either.
We take the complex subject of emotional baggage and exorcise it in the simplest way we can, visually, with cues, cartoons, music, fantasy, and energy in abundance. Love wins out in the end, no matter how hard we try to stop it happening. And we are only victims if we decide to be victims. And what can be wrong about a story that is designed to be so very uplifting? Nothing.
Please see this and enjoy it for what it is: sheer inspiration in education, entertainment and enlightenment. Ten out of ten.
