MMM Falling-In-Love-With-A-Movie Pie...
Slightly girly, warm yet bittersweet, well written, funny, sometimes cringey, curl-up-to-movies not for you? Then leave this one for those, who like me relish its flavours that, like Jenna's Oasis pie, open up one after the other and become even more enjoyable with the next helping.
Watch Waitress once and you will instantly know that writer/director/actress Adrienne Shelly has indeed baked a pie with the heart firmly in the middle. You can pick up on the instant goodies such as 'Uncongratulations'-'Unthank you', the witty dialogue throughout, the wonderful performances and the fact that yes, this is essentially a feel good movie, but it has its darker turns. Then watch it again, knowing that this is the last film Adrienne made before being killed in 2006, and the bittersweet taste buds on your tongue get a whole new flavour experience. And if you find yourself singing or humming along to the song over the credits, which was written for the movie especially (by Shelly), then for you, like for me, this film will occupy that spot where the little movie gems go. Wonderfully brilliant. SEE THIS IF YOU LIKED *JUNO *FRIED GREEN TOMATOES... *CHOCOLAT |
