i love this bimbo ass movie. sophia singlehandedly keeps the tumblr girl aesthetic alive. it‘s disgusting how she’s able to capture the freakish level of nostalgia that only a 15 year old girl can feel while presenting a seemingly pretty shallow movie. it loves how deeply moving aesthetics can be. the story doesn’t matter too much it’s more about the indie soundtrack and the sexy actors and each shot making you want run away from this hideous world and move into that one. maybe i’m just always going to be an escapist but i think sophia coppola is enabling girls like me.

sofia coppola’s niece, very similar stylistically. Palo Alto is one of my favorite films ever. kind of a “no plot just vibes” type beat if you’re into that. she also has a new movie coming soon starring Pamela Anderson that i’m very excited about ✨

saw it yday by myself, havent read anything, and only talked to one friend abt it so far, but initial reaction: i really liked it. at first i was kind of ”yawn white feminism” “yawn voyeuristic dom fantasy” but i liked the grayness of it and how clumsy their sub dom relationship was at first. that felt honest and funny. and though i guess the sex was important to the movie, it wasn’t really about that. ultimately, it seemed that puritanism and corporate feminism and the masking it encourages became the villain. and that i can get behind. i look forward to watching it again or hearing from others and seeing how my perspective changes.
also i’ll watch nicole kidman in anything really and the shots of harrison dickinson in the tank w the little gold chain is my kinda female gaze.

my profound attachment to this movie is probably something i should unpack with a therapist... nonetheless, it is absolutely nasty, creepy, and reminiscent of all the aspects of girlhood i struggled with the most. u should definitely check it out :)
