The film is beautiful to look at but that might be the problem in itself. It seems to strive for something deeper a character study inside an ensemble, but it is beautiful people living extravagently beautiful life's of leisure. While having dream careers and fighting against or for perfection. That it makes the Audience hard to feel sorry for the characters.

It’s the end of summer soon to officially be cuffing season as it is known in the streets.
I try not to write these regularly as they seem somewhat to expose an obsession with certain actresses or at least their big screen interpretations. Not to mention i don't want to seem disrespectful to each individual and think by the next time i have moved onto a new piece about another actress or that i forgot them. this is testimony. The pieces i fear but hope aren't seen as sexist and misogynistic but I want to share me wonderment, fandom and expose actresses maybe for a wider audience. now my subject is a little more known then the last actress who I wrote a column about Olivia D'abo
