  • Must Go!

    A film for those who want not just companionship in life, but want magic with love

    by embraceofthedarkness

    A really enjoyable movie with a sense of genuine reality with what can go through the mind of someone who's hopeful yet hopeless at all once with finding love and a sense of self. Parker Posey seriously IS this character; there's no sense that she's merely acting. There's enough quirky humor and a sense of honesty in the film to keep the viewer from ever being drowned in complete sorrow, but this movie never treads where so many romantic movies do. The movie sucked me in from the intro scene and it amazed me how fast the time passed! Great :)

    to say i enjoyed broken english would be an understatement. this movie struck home with me like few others. a bit slow for your average audience, i found it was wonderfully acted, awkward, painful, poignant, sad, realistic, and thankfully not your typical hollywood ending! parker posey is fantastic as a sometimes neurotic, pensive, emotional and desperate woman who feels as though she'll be alone forever. my favorite scenes are the bathtub, the restaurant/desert/bathroom scene and the one where she's finally let it go and decided to have fun despite it all when her and her girlfriend are in paris. one of my top favorite movies!

    Discovering the Joy of Life

    by souldocinla

    If you believe in the magic of love, the synchronicity of fate, and the hope that you can have the love that your heart desires, go see this movie. If you no longer belive in those things, see it repeatedly. This movie is a beautiful portrayal of the belief and longing for love (and life), the fear of it, and the necessity of trusting one's feelings over pretending.
