August 27, 2009A good debut film from Sofia Coppola, I didn't care for the characters much but it was beautifully filmed.

August 1, 2009I postponed seeing this because, for some reason, I thought it was just another 'chick-flick'. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Four stars (teetering on four and a half)
...and a great soundtrack! -
May 20, 2009Five daughters in a family, and the youngest commits suicide. The story of the family is told through the eyes of the neighbourhood boys - who don't quite understand what went on. Neither do we.
