    “wipe that face off your head, b*tch.”

    honestly if every director let parker posey say whatever she wanted in a scene, some of them would have made much better movies

    “do you ever feel like you’re floating? like you’re not connected to anything or anybody? i feel like i can vanish and no one would even notice, not for weeks.” 

    i was in tears by the end. what a heartbreaking and poignant portrait of girlhood. toni colette and parker posey in particular have some really sublime moments. i’ll be thinking about them and this film for a long time.

    parker posey down bad for a french man? we hate to see it. her acting was so heartfelt. her anxiety and loneliness throughout was palpable. i don't think i've ever seen someone make smoking a cigarette and drinking a red wine simultaneously look miserable yet so appealing. gena rowlands as her mama! drea de matteo as her best friend! a quiet film about longing for love and i liked it.

    adding hugh grant to the list of cinematic weird girls who express their villainy through dollhouses and dioramas.
