This is the movie I'm most looking forward to this fall. I love that Anne H. is playing against type - a drama queen instead of an innocent princess.
Yeah, in fact, I'm going to see it this weekend JUST BECAUSE Jenny Lumet is fabulous!
Hehehe... Hope you're well.

I'm the only person who commented on this? Really?
(I'm writing! And I'm reading 250 scripts during the month of October for the Zoetrope contest... I'll surface again in November.)
Funny that of the three articles I posted last Thursday, THIS ONE got the most clicks! Hehehe...

Jenny must be fabulous because this movie is fabulous. The writing and direction is fantastic. I saw this with my daughter (neither of us have sisters) and we both laughed, cried and reflected on the redemptive potential of dysfunctional families.Kudos to the actors of main characters, especially the father and mother. Debra Winger has matured into a fine actor who played a brilliantly nuanced role. I loved tis movie and will refer it to all of my "serious" movie friends.
Hey, there! Thanks so much for that. I wrote another article with more detailed thoughts about the film. I loved it! In fact, I loved all the women in that film. And I'd love to see more of Lumet's work.
So very nice to meet you.
-MM
