A sweet fantasy
28 June 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I loved this movie. The writing was great, acting was great - Parker Posey was amazing as usual, directing was great. This is the type of movie you sit at home and watch when you are depressed about your life ha. It's sweet, and maybe unrealistic, but its about connecting with another person through chemistry and loneliness really -- it's about the human condition, the desperate, wandering, exploration of life, and the moments that you grasp onto, the ones you find hope in.

It changed my mood, in a good, beautiful way. It's not a comedy, but there are moments of great writing when I laughed out loud. It's truly a romance; a sweet fantasy that rung deep in my heart, & soul.
