Downtown Owl Storyline
The Film takes place in the fictional town of Owl, North Dakota, which is semi isolated from the 1980s pop culture that surrounds it. This story follows three residents – Horace an old man who spends his afternoons reminiscing in the local coffee shop, Mitch a depressed high school backup quarterback star player-power-horse, and Julia the new English teacher at their local high school – whose lives, along with those of the town’s other residents, are upended by a whiteout blizzard.—The Hollywood Reporter (Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport; MSP airport)

Downtown Owl Movie Reviews
mixed bag
Lily Rabe is excellent, more than capable of holding her own as a lead and nice understated comedic performance. She’s not the problem with the film.
It definitely feels like the Directors first attempt at a feature, there’s a fair amount of moments in here where you think “that could have been better”. The semi-realist, wandering lens moments are particularly clumsily done and feel anachronistic – certainly could have been done in that style, it just seems as if the director had a “that’ll do” attitude and a checklist of cultural beats to hit.
Which leads me to the soundtrack, trust-fund bands doing covers of songs that would be pertinent to the film if the originals were used, but they were – so you just get the sacharine “new” version with the rough edges sanded to a cookie-cutter banality. Particularly egregious was the opening track, the worst cover of “Pump it up” ever – not a great intro and put me in the mindset of instant dislike.
Again, Lily Rabe does all the heavy lifting here, this could have been an 8/10 film if the director did it again.
Lousy Teacher
Quite boring waste of time and money at triple speed to watch, short-sighted, trivial, tasteless, lengthy and boring, mysterious and illogical, can’t stand it anymore, maitre ridiculous, not a movie, just a documentary, worse than documentary, meaningless argument, inflexible, stiff, fallen, long winded, nagging, naomi moron julia lunatic, totally nonsense, unconscious, moaning for no reason, said reality but not related, depth but not depth, obviously another commercial that been sponsored by lunatic tobacco company, do nothing just smoking only, if don’t know how to make a film, just donate money to people.
Quirky, original, enjoyable 1983-based small-town dramedy
In quirky but enjoyable 1983-based small-town dramedy “Downtown Owl” Lily Rabe (terrific) escapes her troubled marriage by taking a short-term teaching assignment (under Hamish Linklater) in the titular tiny Dakota town where she goes thru something of a drink fuelled breakdown while interacting with local characters like Ed Harris (still a class act), love interest (or not?) Henry Golding, and colleagues Vanessa Hudgens & Finn Wittrock. Linklater (on his movie writing debut) adapted the screenplay from Chuck Klosterman’s novel, and also co-directed with actual gf (and fellow first-time director) Rabe – props to both of them for such an original & likeable film.
