  Career Girls 1997

  Watched 16 Mar 2025

  I love a Mike Leigh but found this one a tough watch overall. The flashbacting (cool new word for flashback acting) is… a lot. I started this in 2023! But somehow there’s still a beating, aching heart amid the smooth jazz and uncharacteristic cheese. My main takeaways are Katrin Cartridge rules and even a lesser Leigh is a worthwhile moveigh.

  Funniest beginning of a movie in a looooong time. Beautifully animated! Will always love to see a Body Snatchers ‘78 homage!
