Float on the ocean of illiterate literature and embalm yourself in poetry and like to think that a suicidal thought might be good litterature for the vast masses, and where you may edge your intellectual shakespirian ego into even higher level of intellectuality then this film might be like manna from heaven for you. salinger, yeah ive heard the name i think, but i might mix it up with other -inger names, you know kissinger and gunslinger and so forth. writing has never been my force majeure and that might be reflected in my reviews. so i guess that writing may reveal a lot of things about you that you are not aware of yourself. my workmates say that im an excrutiangly genius on the use of adjectives, and that ive got a fruitfull fantasy, but grammar in general hasnt been my thing, and i am proud i know the german akkusative grammar durch, fur, gegen ,ohne, um like a blister on my tounge. the rest is just blocked out like uv radiation on the ozone layer, and youll get what you get. intellect are often reflected in writing, and especially in the good old days, when the kind of handwriting would also disclose your adversary or your kind of IQ. my handwriting lead to the introduction of computers at work as it looks like rusty german 2nd world war barbwire and my ops is like a 2 year old crayon scribble. and im an expert in litteral derailments so back to the review... its the story about a coming of age, actually an old girl growing into a young adult intellectual women, working as a secretary at a publishers agency. its a slowburning drama of personal revelations on writers methods and secrets, and the butcherlike commitment that publishers and agencies antagonizing upcoming talents in the world of litterature. its also a lovestory at many levels, on books foremost but also in human relations. its a story that lasts a year,what happens next isnt available yet. this is food for the squemish ,the gloathers of intelectual scriptures, and insiders would love to reminice their past lives with joy and sentiment watching this flick. for the layman its a rather boring story without sex and murder, not even a real quarrel on the menu, in a rather well acted sensible edited and scored and dead on target filmographic work of the art. i do though miss a good timeline and stamp even though i see its precomputer era. but i watched it, and i liked the baseline and its message and will therefore make a recommend, but with just 6 stars awarded from the grumpy old man

Having actually worked in NYC publishing in 1995, we stopped watching after an hour because the protagonist is a naïve dumbass and her boyfriend is a lazy stereotype. The only interesting character is played by Sigourney Weaver, and even that is so over-the-top as to be ridiculous. Four stars for the production. It's beautifully filmed, but the characters are garbage.

My Salinger Year is a sweet, delightful film, and you do not need to have read the book to enjoy it. The plot is fairly thin. In the mid-90s, Joanna (Margaret Qualley) visits a friend in New York, and decides to stay there, leaving her life in California behind. What Joanna would really like to do is write, but she also has to pay the bills. She gets a job as an assistant at a literary agency, working for Sigourney Weaver. The catch here is Weaver's biggest client is J. D. Salinger, the famously reclusive writer. He gets hundreds of letters from fans, but the agency has been instructed not to pass them on, and instead respond to each letter with a form indicating that Mr. Salinger will never see it. Despite this, Joanna begins personally responding to certain letters with unintended results. Also, Joanna picks up a mediocre boyfriend, ponders life and following a tragedy involving her boss, gains the courage to move to the next stage of her life. Overall, this was an enjoyable movie. There was no particular deep meaning to any of it, and you might say the movie relies a little too heavily on the Salinger gimmick. However, Qualley is wonderfully engaging in her role, and Sigourney Weaver is clearly living her best life. The movie has a nice supporting cast as well. I'd very much recommend it for a rainy day or a movie night.

2 out of 5 stars. Boring drama about a young writer joining a literary company where she reads all fans mail towards J. D. Salinger. While questioning about why they dispose of the messages. Boring plot. Dull direction. Tedious performances with lacking chemistry with the characters.

Initial Thoughts: If you skim just the surface this is a poetic masterpiece. The camerawork is amazing and is fluid. It tries to bring you into the story. Yet for all its comings and goings this film falls flat on it's face. Instead of trying to bring you in and find a love of reading it focuses more on the personal feelings of our protagonist Joanna rather than her love of books or writing. The overall feeling of the film is that it's too rigid. It feels too much like a library where any step you take may usher in a "shh" from an unexpecting librarian. I so desperately wanted to love this movie as it was one of my movies to watch this year and yet I was left with disappointment. Everything feels like you're walking on eggshells. Cons of the film include a poor introduction to Salinger, a flip-floppy Sigourney Weaver (she never finds a good edge for me), too much focus on Joanna's emotions of failure instead of yearning to break the shell of writing (would've been nice to see her succeed in her passion), and yet not enough emotion to care about the outcome of the story. Pros of the film include great camera work that pulls you into the film, a poetic fluidity that provides the base for a decent story (yet ultimately fails), and a decent range of ethnicity that doesn't focus on just white casting. Overall: A poetic film that doesn't capture the emotions properly. Although I love movies and like books, I don't find the two blend well in this film. If this is a movie you've been wanting to watch, wait for it to come out on a streaming service, or another way you can watch it for free. "Should I watch this movie?" My answer is 'Yes and no as it doesn't meet my expectations, but it may meet yours'. Enjoy the show!

This film starts off a bit slow and hard to follow until you start to feel you are back in that time of your life when you had your first notable job. The story unfolds and you start to care about the depth of the cast. The music accompanies the scenes nicely. The images of New York are always appreciated by me. This is a gentle movie for those who appreciate writers, books and agents.

This is quiet and lovely; I don't understand the low score.

You think that a story around story experts will know how to tell a good and engaging story. But ironically they don't. What intended effects on us are bland for me. Writers wrote for themselves I guess.

That young woman plays her role in a very kund and decent and subtle way. And man is she beautiful!

Excellently played by the protagonist and Weaver, her antagonist. We're drawn into the world of literature and enjoy and suffer it through this heart-warming coming-of-age story of the protagonist who learns to make decisions, bravely pursue her dreams and handle her relationships. Feel-good cinema.
