Yep, she most definitely can do no wrong. Which, when you consider her ‘looks’, is pretty remarkable. I can only think of a few other actors, both male and female, whom the camera loves so much, and yet their looks only ever complement their acting talent, and not serve as distraction.
Plus, of course, wise career choices, too, which historically, hasn’t always been the case with the beautiful (and the damned) who litter so many poor films.
All the same, I have mixed feelings about this particular film, though, Luke, but that’s for another time, another place. But, as ever, your review is as fine as ever.
Absolutely tip top choice- one of my favourites too. I'm going to watch it this afternoon. Also, the soundtrack is excellent for the film, a perfect fit.
In a way, given the virtual connections of today, this is a parallel. Aren't we all a little lost in translation at the moment? Brilliant film, with Murray giving another stellar performance along with Groundhog Day.
In complete agreement. I'm also fascinated by that time- just before the internet became mainstream. The late 90s, very early 2000s. Recognisably modern, at least visually, but...

I should have mentioned that...
