Carrie Pilby

Carrie Pilby (2017) is a dry comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Susan Johnson and led by Bel Powley. Carrie graduated Harvard at eighteen. Now, at nineteen, she's stuck in a New York apartment surrounded by millions of people she finds almost entirely irrational.

Her therapist hands her a to-do list: go on a date, make one real friend, spend New Year's Eve with someone other than her cat. Each item plays out somewhere between disaster and quiet revelation, with Nathan Lane, Gabriel Byrne, and Vanessa Bayer filling out a cast of characters nearly as misfit as Carrie herself. Sharp, understated, and surprisingly warm — the film asks whether genius can be its own kind of trap. Stream Carrie Pilby (2017) online on iFILM.
