Watched this probably 15 years ago with my mom and “Molly Smiles” has been stuck in my head since then. Also Brittany Murphy’s solemn face on teacups and Dakota Fanning punching her stomach. Crucial early core cinematic memories type shit. Also Dakota Fanning doing an improvised ballet routine to alt rock in a homemade tutu was absolutely formative to my personality. Also Neal is a loser!

This movie makes me want to do a twirl!! 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️
Loving it more and more with every watch, so wonderful seeing in a sold out theater!! The girly dystopia romp of my dreams!

the closest I’ve seen to a true depiction of everything that can never be put into words about the drift between the euphoria and melancholy of youth. Breathtaking

Yooo Annapurna Sriram is a true visionary. Instantly iconic soundtrack, literally one of the most visually stunning films I’ve ever seen, chemistry is absolutely oozing from the cast, editing is masterful. A new film with true originality and deeply intentional creative choices is simply life-giving! No one is doing it like this rn fr. 

Perfectly whimsical and lush and weird and charming and heartbreaking and hopeful🥤💙 

Saw the SXSW World Premiere <3
