Synopsis
Unicorn Store (2017) is a fantasy comedy and the directorial debut of Brie Larson, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It's a gentle story about a grown woman who never let go of the childhood wish for a real, actual unicorn.
After flunking out of art school, Kit moves back in with her parents and takes a dull temp job to look like she's finally growing up. Then a glittery invitation arrives from a mysterious place called The Store, where a flamboyant salesman offers to grant her oldest dream and hand over a living unicorn. There's a catch: Kit has to prove she can build a life stable enough to care for one. Larson directs and stars, with her Captain Marvel co-star Samuel L. Jackson turning up as the rainbow-draped Salesman.
The film landed on Netflix and is sincere underneath the sparkle, using its silly premise to talk honestly about the fear of becoming a boring adult. It's a soft, slightly awkward fable that works best for viewers who miss kind, un-ironic whimsy. Stream Unicorn Store (2017) online on iFILM.
