Review:
I Used to Go Here was just another random selection on Amazon Prime for me. What was a random selection for background noise while working out turned into a more formal approach to inviting the move in with thought and inner digestion. The movie isn't deep but does a great job of connecting the line between an individual's college days and potential with the essence of adulthood and the real world.
The film really could have gone super cliche, as most college films can, but it tight-rope walked and offered some nuance about relationships, the impact we have on people, and ire of failing and making poor decisions in both college and adulthood and overall, how we carry all of it and move on. Some don't. Some do.
I used to Go Here is a solid film and one that you can obviously get that I enjoyed. Gillian Jacobs was great as Kate in the role.
Give this one a try and push play.
Grade: 3/5
