Production

Larson had previously auditioned to be in the film but failed to get the part, but five years later was invited to come on board as director.[1]

Principal photography began in November 2016, in Los Angeles, California and concluded on December 9, 2016.[2][3]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2017.[4][5] On January 9, 2019, it was revealed that Netflix picked up the distribution rights.[6] It was released on April 5, 2019.[7]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received an average of 5.5/10, and an approval rating of 55% based on 49 reviews, with the critical consensus stating, "It'll be best enjoyed by audiences with a high tolerance for colorful whimsy, but Unicorn Store is easy to like — and it suggests Brie Larson has a future behind the camera."[8] Metacritic assigned the film a score of 45 out of 100 based on reviews from 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[9]

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly rated it "B", and called it "A candy-coated, willfully quirky wisp of a film; like a Michel Gondry fantasy dipped in glitter and rainbow sprinkles."[10] Tim Grierson of Screen International wrote "Both skewering and celebrating its adult protagonist's childlike wonder, Unicorn Store runs the risk of excessive whimsy at every turn. But Larson navigates through a cute story's clear limitations to deliver a film that's often quite funny."[11]

Peter Debruge from Variety was critical of the film, saying it fails to create the right tonal balance, and labeled it "a creative misfire".[12] IGN{{'}}s Kristy Puchko gave the film 4.3 out of 10, and stated "Despite all the magic, unicorns, and glitter, there's not much fun or whimsy to Unicorn Store. Its wonder is puncture by Kit's perpetually prickly attitude. Its humor is dulled by Larson's incoherent comedy stylings... In the end, the best thing I can say about Unicorn Store is its only 92-minutes long."[13]
