    so much chaos, so little plot but so much lore !

    I will also admit (sans shame) that half a star is for the last scene and the last scene alone!!!

    Anyone But You

    I watched this with my sister/bestie and giggled and cried and ate chicken tenders from our hometown movie theater and it was a perfectly perfect experience. I don’t think rom coms ever left but if they did, then they’re definitely back. Also, every single song choice was perfectly perfect and I’m sorry but enemies to lovers is a flawless trope.

    my big 3 takeaways after this first watch: 1) diabolically beautiful dialogue 2) frank sinatra new york new york type energy everywhere 3) the piano scenes are perfectly perfect 

    P.S. I’m still trying to watch all of my besties’ top 4 on letterboxd — hi juli!!
