The Rules for Everything

About This Movie

So, 'The Rules for Everything' is this interesting little gem from 2017. The tone is a mix of whimsical and somber, with a kid's perspective that's both naive and surprisingly insightful. Storm, the main character, navigates the chaos of her life while her mother dives into these bizarre self-help videos with a quirky Eastern European guru. It plays around with themes of control, the absurdity of adult life, and how rules shape our existence. The pacing is a bit uneven but it kind of mirrors Storm's confusion. The performances, especially from the child actor, feel very genuine. It’s distinct in how it blends comedy with deeper emotional undercurrents, creating a unique atmosphere that's hard to pin down.
