Brie Larson’s directorial debut, Unicorn Store, is a film about embracing your idiosyncrasies without letting the dull conformity of life strip you of your originality. But it’s a deceptively difficult task in a debut film, and the tonal shifts become too much for her to handle. The quirky setup becomes a route into a more dramatic look at a woman struggling to progress from adolescence to adulthood. The biggest takeaway from Unicorn Store is that Larson is a skilled comic presence. Unicorn Store is not it.
