I Believe in Unicorns is a 2014 American independent coming-of-age romantic drama film written and directed by Leah Meyerhoff.

The film stars Natalia Dyer, Peter Vack, Julia Garner, Amy Seimetz and Toni Meyerhoff.

Davina realizes she has fallen in love with Sterling and confesses in private about her sexual episode to Cassidy.

After contemplating for some time about being “anywhere but here,” Davina and Sterling make it official by leaving Berkeley and embarking on a road trip together.

However, as the two of them spend more time together, they start to become increasingly combative and argumentative, particularly when Davina compares Sterling to his father.

At one point, Davina suggests that they head back to Berkeley, but Sterling feels intent that they carry on with their journey.

[6] According to Meyerhoff, the live action scenes in the film were shot in three weeks in the San Francisco Bay Area.

[11] The New York Times gave the film a positive review:[12] "Stretched to 80 minutes, the story (by the director Leah Meyerhoff) almost breaks; that it holds together without compromising its simplicity or emotional authenticity only proves that, contrary to the maxim, you don’t need a gun if you’ve got the right girl.

"Joe Leydon of Variety also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "First-time feature filmmaker Leah Meyerhoff spins a familiar but affecting coming-of-age tale in I Believe in Unicorns, a sensitively observed and arrestingly impressionistic drama that feels at once deeply personal and easily accessible.
