Short description

Kit is a young artist who moves back in with her parents and takes an office job that has little to do with her creative ambitions. A mysterious invitation arrives, leading her to a strange shop run by a salesman dressed entirely in pink, who offers to grant her a childhood wish: a unicorn of her own. The offer draws Kit into a test of what growing up actually requires.

Unicorn Store is a comedy, drama and fantasy film directed by Brie Larson, who also stars as Kit. It marks her feature directing debut and came after she had established herself as an actress; the screenplay is by Samantha McIntyre. Samuel L. Jackson plays the Salesman, with Joan Cusack, Bradley Whitford, Mamoudou Athie and Hamish Linklater in supporting roles, and a credited cast of thirty-one. Larson also produced alongside Lynette Howell Taylor and Ruben Fleischer.

On IMDb the film holds a rating of 5.6 from around 21,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.9 from 895 votes; a critics' rating of 6.1 from 94 reviews places it slightly above the audience scores. The film runs 91 minutes and was released in September 2017.
