Yeah, I expected just a simple light-hearted comedy from the trailer - but its so much more than that. Its funny, and sad, and heartwarming, and unexpected, and I cant get it out of my head, even two days later. Lindey Lohan is amazing in it, and Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda are both excellent.
Lindsey Lohans character does shocking things - I dont shock easily, but I was definitely a little disturbed. But as the character got used to her new surroundings, suddenly the truth started to come out, and everything started to make sense.
I see reviews below where people are characterizing her role as a tramp, and I question whether those people sat through the whole movie, because if thats all you got out of it, you REALLY missed the whole point. And you missed a great movie, and thats too bad.
Just a great, great movie - one of the best of 2007 for sure! Was this review helpful?

But the surprizing thing for me was how much it reminded me of Sofia Coppolas earlier film, Lost in Translation. The same sense of lonliness is present.
I understand why some people dont get this film. If youre looking for a movie about history, it may not be for you. But, if youre open to a film about mood - and you have to be open - then you may love it!
As for the last scene, I thought it was lovely. We all know how her life ended - and she clearly knew what was coming. The defining moment was not when the guillotine came down on her neck - it was that moment in the coach when she came to terms with her life and her fate. Sofia Coppola didnt settle for the gory end - she gave us a character-driven ending. So much more satisfying! Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-2 of 2 Per Page |
