Watch I Used to Go Here (2020) online

Kate Conklin (Gillian Jacobs) should be happy after publishing her first novel. She's not. The book is not selling well. Her book tour gets cancelled. Her love life had cratered. Her friends are pregnant and moving on. Her old writing professor David Kirkpatrick (Jemaine Clement) invites her to speak at her alma mater. She's staying at a B&B across the street from her former home which houses a new group of student writers.

This is a small indie with a little bit of quirky humorous moments and light weight drama. Mostly, it's elevated by the appealing Gillian Jacobs' charms. It's slow at times and struggles to generate narrative momentum. There is one small section in the middle where it becomes a fun mission. It would be interesting to expand that part. The movie does need to add more to the script. I would change the last line to, "I could have done better. I will do better." It's more affirmative and more directed at herself. Overall, this feels like a second or third draft. It needs some more stuffing to fill up the script.
