Overlooked movie alert!* There’s really good stuff in here, from mother/daughter relationships to fame, and how women are often required to sell their bodies to achieve it. Great performances all around.
Cost: free from library

The above poster was the only one the site had. However, the poster below was on the front of my DVD and it’s a million times better.

It is so fun to discover a bit of a hidden gem. I will definitely see if this is available on our various movie subscription sites. We have greatly diminished our movie watching now that I am so busy with school, but I will try to get it in teh queue.
Good, though I have a sneaking suspicion you haven’t yet seen Brooklyn…
It’s on Netflix – I added it to my list! Of course, there’s stuff that’s been on my list for like five years, so who knows when I’ll get to it.
