just a movie you want to crawl into… varda is a genius, a bohemian throuple in the 60s living in hollywood is already such a premise. slap on the looming RFK assassination (as its filming!!!) and their genuine in real time reactions to that event unfolding and you have like an actual artifact. it’s gorgeous it‘s funny it’s what challengers owes everything to.

the dynamic between them becomes apparent more clearly, it both feels vulnerable and manipulative. all in all, just very intimate and sexy.
they're both asking each other something, but the other person's answer is not what they want. i'm a throuple truther for this movie but fuck them!!! arttashi kills me.

a beautiful sexy exciting suspensful hell yeah of a movie. campy and high brow if you're of the epicurean pursasion or within that idealogical vicinity when it comes to movies. it makes a lot of heavyhanded stylized assertions which are good and cool, but it balances out with the subtly genius writing and tender sapphic love story.

This film is, to me, perfection. Lesbian adjacent stalking, huge focus on real estate and the two GOATiest GOATS- Cate B and Judi D- going head to head at the speed of hysteria. This is what I hoped I was getting when I decided to make a home in London (every part except an affair with a fifteen year old boy. Not good!) Not only do I love the aesthetic- a kind of drab cashmere cowl-neck with a hippie skirt, the sense that everyone is ten degrees too cold, tons of crown moulding- but I love any film about our obsessive cultural interest in catching mothers stepping outside of bounds, and what that punitive glee says about us. Watch for the complex social message, stay to see a young Juno Temple whimper-cry “I’M FAT AS FUCK, MUM!" (she’s most definitely not, but she plays it perfectly.)
