I watched this yesterday afternoon because it was raining out and I didn't feel like leaving my house all day when I had plans that night. I genuinely think it has become the straw that broke the camel's back bearing the weight of my relationship with my family. I called my father, my mother, and talked to my grandmother. The last grandparent I have left, the one I have the most questions for. I even proposed planning a trip for the reunion held yearly in our family village. It made me more grateful to be living here in New York at this stage of my life, looking around at what I've managed to build of my own, but remembering to not forget what came before, what allowed me to be who I am now. They're all responsible for that in some way, no? Barbra Streisand could insult me, and I would thank her, but I especially want to thank her for directing such a wonderful film. You should all watch it someday.

I took a page out of justheretofillthevoid’s book and watched a movie shortly after waking up, while drinking my coffee. It was lovely and something I expect to do more often!
Something I loved about this movie is it felt real. It wasn’t a stretch of the imagination to think these characters exist, or love each other. Seems small but a lot of movies get it slightly off, so I appreciate it when it happens.
As most people have shared, yes this move is about grief, but I think they did a phenomenal job of showing generational trauma. That which isn’t dealt with, in this case because it was so atrocious and their grandma just needed to survive, is passed down until it demands to be felt.
Overall, a very human film that made me feel a lot of things💗

first saw this as a kid, but sometimes i'll be making myself breakfast and suddenly think of the scene where margot tenenbaum steps out of the bus and sees richie for the first time in years. suddenly the world is in slow motion and 'these days' by nico plays in the background. idk if it's the warm colors, the dry melancholy, the nyc brownstones... this movie will just mix with memories of my own.
i also get this feeling from some agnes varda movies, especially 'les plages d'agnes'... maybe because that one is about remembering.

EDC's new album is good, but it's admittedly making me listen to her older stuff more...the other night I went to the opening of a new bar called Ripple Room off Bowery and I ended up talking to some bartender on the way to another bar about Barbra Streisand. He drunkenly reminded me of that incredulous "Duck Sauce" song, and now I cannot manage to get it out of my head. I get it, though, I could also write a song about Babs.
