This movie was alright. It was such an indie find.
My biggest complaint with a low budget artsy movie is the
amount of transportation that is shown. I would rather watch an hour of a movie
with little or no driving around town scenes than a 2 hour movie with minutes
and more consecutive minutes of a person getting to a location. We understand
that they didn’t magically appear. We are not stupid. A little scenery for mood
setting, and move on!
I like Greta Gerwig. She is so real. She has such a cool way
of relate-ably expressing her emotions.
This guy, Olly Alexander was captivating. He has a very cool
feel. He is so young, but the confidence still drips off him. He seems self assured, but not cocky yet. We
will see what happens, but I like him right now.
5 questions answered:
1. What are you
favorite Gretta Gerwig movies in order (best to worst)?
·
Damsels in Distress- Loved this one.
·
Lola Versus
·
Frances Ha
·
Hanna Takes the Stairs
·
Greenberg- I was not impressed.
2. Was this a
romance?
No. It had romantic elements, but not a romantic love
story. Olly Alexander is too young to be hot. He is more like a doll with his
large blue eyes, but kind of cute.
3. What was the
best part?
The main character, Rose, and her anger. I love a good
break up. This movie exposed how much Rose loved her husband by showing how
much she hated him. I loved these phone calls she would make to her husband, so
full of raging madness compared to her broken hearted composure during the rest
of the scenes.
4. What did I like
the least?
The end. Spoiler
ahead: I thought she should have built up enough confidence throughout the
movie to leave her cheating husband. I would have liked that better.
5. Fashion
commentary

She wears her pajamas for the first day or so,
but also a warm red hat. I like the detail of that. She was mad enough to leave
her home immediately, but she had the foresight to bring her hat.
·
I like her wedding photo. It made me smile to
see the vintage dress.
·
That boy’s dress was atrocious!
