Gina Rodriguez Starrer "Someone of great" at the height of her title

With the audience already involved in the last season of Jane the Virgin, Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez continues to make movements in the film. His latest feature film, the romantic comedy Netflix Someone of great, is a fantastic transition for the actress and she Jane the Virgin friends. In just 90 minutes, Rodriguez makes you laugh, cry and laugh while crying, telling a story about the fear of change, finding yourself and jumping headlong into the unknown.

Jenny (Rodriguez) has been in a relationship for eight years with Nate (Lakeith Stanfield). But when she announces her move to San Francisco, Nate decides to break up with her. After only 24 hours to deal with the split, and only a week before she finally leaves home in New York, Jenny decides to spend one last crazy night with her daughters Blair (Brittany Snow) and Erin (DeWanda Wise).

Director and screenwriter Jennifer Kaytin Robinson understands that women are imperfect beings and that her trio of women is the most confused of the lot. In addition to Jenny's breakup, Erin fears Blair's commitment and complacency issues. Robinson uses his relationships to show that staying with the same people for decades can be stunted and that, in order to develop, it is often necessary to sever ties with the people closest to us.

During one night, we notice the effects of a big change occurred in three friends who are together since the university. They all suffer from regular problems in adults, but when they attend a music show, they are forced to face the problems they run away from. You think that these characters have known each other forever, not just by flashback – Rodriguez being the only one to have had a different hairstyle all this time – but through their different stories. Erin, from Wise, can check out Jenny's Instagram account and realize that using a song involves breaking up. Jenny and Erin continually refer to "Bad Blair" to remember that their stuck friend was fun.

For Rodriguez, this is not a game change, but it shows that she can take Jane's patented blend of sincere humor and translate it into a harder world. Jenny has no qualms about dropping F bombs, smoking all the joints that are handed to her and going down with Nate. C & # 39; Jane the Virgin all grown up, but Rodriguez continues to keep Jenny accessible. Watching Rodriguez dance with her friends while trying on clothes is something delicious. If you've watched episodes in which she's upset while smiling at you, that's perfection. Her opening scene, sitting in the subway with a passerby (Michelle Buteau, hilarious) as she recounts how wonderful Jenny is, is both a testament to the spirit of Rodriguez's script and comic moment.

There are also several times when Rodriguez presents his Latinidad, dropping Spanish regularly throughout the film. And we are not talking randomly about words that an average person with a sixth grade Spanish education would notice, whole sentences. However, his switching code does not seem perfectly placed because it only speaks spanglish to monolingual anglophones. But wearing a "Latina AF" t-shirt everywhere, you feel a sense of pride in Jenny's heritage without referring directly to it. The highlight of the film is that Jenny, in a bodega, sings with drunk "Dreaming of You" Selena with his friends. When Erin begins to whisper the spoken parts of the song, it leaves you on the floor.

The rest of the cast is also brilliant but Rodriguez is the star. DeWanda Wise is bright like Erin, who refuses to grow up. She can not clean her room, get up to go to the farmer's market or call the woman she's regularly seen her girlfriend. Perhaps because Wise and Rodriguez are so gregarious, Snow's Blair is gentle and neutral, but she tends to be jaded. Her big argument is to go out with a guy she hates and secretly see one of the ex-Jenny, but what could have been a great revelation plays with a groan. A brief appearance of Jane the Virgin Guest-star Rosario Dawson also takes place, with Dawson playing Stanfield's cousin Hannah. It could have gone somewhere, but it sounds like a surprise appearance of an actor from the same series. Stanfield's Nate, to his credit, is never written or presented as a villain. He too is afraid but understands the greatest good. This is not his story and it is fitting that Robinson never makes him a perfect man just waiting to make this great gesture.

Someone of great certainly at the height of his title. Gina Rodriguez remains an animated actress and if this film reveals the projects she chooses, we have a lot of fun. A wonderfully telling comedy for every thirty years that fears the future.

Someone of great is currently streaming on Netflix.
