i think I’ve finally found my 2000s romcom. All this time watching Richard Curtis films and something never felt quite right. I wanted the yearning, the sweetness and the heartache, but it turns out I wanted it sapphic.
And this film really does that. It fits into the genre so beautifully. The pastel-lighted London, the 2000s knitwear and that obligatory dash to declare love at the end… it hits all the spots. Nothing else in this genre can top a…
Beautiful and so so sad…
p.s Would be 4 1/2 but minus half a star for the weird tree (what on earth were the animators thinking?)
Passed down through every female member of my family for 4 generations with a fervour that none of the men understand. Watching it for the first time felt like a secret and magical ceremony of initiation at the age of six. This film still reminds me of all the women around my great nan’s tea table while she trimmed her roses from her garden
Okay watched a year on and the when eve gets on the bus at the end I sobbed. Maybe it’s the sentimental time of year and this sentimental time of life
