    "This was the closest we ever got, just 0.01 cm between us. But 57 hours later, I fell in love with this woman."

    "This was the closest they ever got, just 0.01 cm between them. But 6 hours later, she fell in love with him."

    I love how the entire film is on knit on the premise that distance and time are the last factors to fall in love with someone.

    This was like 'Modern Love' but in 1994. I…

    "The glamour is undeniable."

    "'Hard' - that's the dumbest thing you can tell someone with a dream."

    Exceptional performance by Pamela Anderson. The opening frame, the closing frame, the setting, the acting, a blast, a proper blast. The interview monologue with the 'I am beautiful and I am 57', just wow. A very well-dealt mother-daughter thread and a bittersweet ode to motherhood.

    Dead Poets Society but with a 🐧 'Juan Salvadore'

    A lot of 'Aww' moments. Did not know it's all true and based on a memoir. Did not know the penguin dies. You will shed a tear. Learnt a lot about penguins. They smell. And they die if they get separated from their partner. Cute penguin walks in classes, English texts, young and idealistic arguments, all throughly enjoyable. English teachers and penguins will not save the world, but will make it better. The entire film is....."what is it called....a metaphor!"

    Moral of the film is not to replace therapy with a penguin please :)

    OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. What have I just seen? Wow. Wow. Wow. India's cinematic revolution of the women unleashing themselves into the wild is here, and we are so so so ready for it. Very very very very very funny, cinematic (love the camerawork when they walk towards the house, it's almost comic strip), wild, madness, and ephemeral. Radhika Apte is phenomenal, with that black sari, black lipstick, nailpaint, shades, and cigarette look at the end, just stunning.…
