"It seems to me that Sofia Coppola is incapable of producing an ugly frame; it’s just completely beautiful, from astonishing first shot to the final whisper. I think that Scarlett Johansson can be just fabulous, and in that she’s just fabulous, plainly beautiful all the way through. She was great in Match Point too, so very good. She gives that dreadful feeling of somebody that will weigh you down forever. And on top of that it’s a genuinely funny film, its got those fantastic bits, particularly the bit where [Bill Murray] is recording the ads, and it really is a comedy. And yet Bill Murray is so melancholy; so sad. After spending all my life in comedy, where you’re aware of all the grief and melancholy that accompanies being thought of as a charming and amusing person, I think it’s an almost perfect film, I think I’d put that in my top ten favourite films of all time. I love that film."

I am dumbfounded. When I first started this film, I was not into it. I don't know why maybe I just wasn't in the mood to watch a movie. Either way, I'm so glad I finished it because I ended up loving it. Like holy crap do I love it. It made my favorites list.

I think that it's a really interesting plot, but also the subject matter is really important. There's a lot to learn in this film and I really appreciate that. Especially given the time it came out. 1997 wasn't the most conservative time in history but it wasn't the most open either. As a queer kid, I loved every minute of this movie. There are definitely some discrepancies and things that are a bit uncomfortable, but I think that's life and that's why this movie is so good. Heck, I really liked it. Who cares what anyone else says?
