Mary is a senior in high school. With graduation a few months away, she is faced with sudden changes in life, love, and friendship. Meanwhile, strange events begin to happen to her that seem completely random and without reason. She struggles to make sense of her life as it threatens to spin out of control. The narrative of an uncontrollable life derives from the artistic concept of the project, which is to adapt a Twitter stream into a fictional film. The director uses 410 real Tweets from an anonymous girl as a springboard to create a fantasy world of a contemporary Asian teenager. (Source: Venice Film Festival) Edit Translation

Reviews
Mary was very ahead of her time
I remember stumbling upon this movie on tv when I was around 14yo and finding it very bizarre, confusing and overall I did not enjoy it much. Now, many years later, I didn’t really remember much of it and decided to rewatch it. Needless to say, I was not disappointed at all. Very witty and straight to the point. Mary’s last year of high school could be described as frantic as she went through oppression, loss and rejection in the span of 410 twits (somewhere close to five months). However, the comedic aspects of the movie were what called out to me the most. The plot of it may not be the most original one, as it really is mostly about how a teenager is facing the world in the fragile age of seventeen, but the format in which the movie was made was the turning point which made it distinctive and characterful. I also have to mention that the cinematography was brilliant and it really did pay a lot to the story. Overall, this movie is criminally underrated.P.S. Mary in 2024 would have definitely been an Instagram poet.
