i find myself thinking about this one so often. this movie captures childhood more accurately than most, in my opinion. it’s slower, sure, but it’s so rich with characters and sounds and sunlight pouring over every scene of the agony of being a preteen and the complexity of being someone’s kid. highly recommend
How beautiful and confusing the world is through the eyes of an 11 year-old. Pretty gay and very tender. A movie to melt your warm Saturday afternoon away.
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.
Heartbreaking but brings me so much comfort. Relationships are fucking complicated. The relatability of it all and the visuals too. I know it’s kind of a cult classic at this point but I still won’t spoil too much for those who haven’t seen it :P
