    I’m afraid of fear”

    Win Wenders is really great at what he does. No one else can capture the feeling of freedom, introspection and melancholy like him. All of his films are reminders of the free will we all have but often forget that it’s even an option. He’s so good as encapsulation the idea of a location if that makes any sense.  For someone that isn’t American, Wim knows how to capture rhe American spirit in a way that most Americans can’t..

    The photo booth scene was just so peak

    I miss when movies were lighthearted,but also complex like this. I love 90s cinema so much because of how familiar movies were during that time. Focusing on small town American life and the world that exists behind it. It’s a fun movie to watch, but there’s still depth behind each character.

    Stellar cast. Winona Ryder, Cher and young Christina Ricci!

    I love when the 90s does small town Americana motifs. Three women of the same lineage going through the differing stages of womenhood. The loneliness, hope, trauma and love. The importance of men in a woman’s life for both good or bad. Oftentimes, it’s both at the same time…

    Not a happy ending or a sad ending. Just an ending
