Creative! Queer!! Autistic!!!

I haven’t laughed out loud in a movie in years!

Some of the “comedic” set pieces are a drag (too many food fights) but the cultural satire is *STILL* up-to-the-minute and relevant!

It’s a silly movie; what makes it stand out is:

• #RitaTushingham & #LynnRedgrave , in the midst of all this silliness, really invest in Brenda & Yvonne’s friendship. As a viewer, you really believe that Brenda would go to these ridiculous lengths for her friend!
They couldn’t sell that ending if we didn’t really believe in their friendship, and it’s their dramatic backgrounds that grounds it.

• The cultural satire: music industry, art world, media, even reality tv gets a poke!
Plus other references that went over my head!

• A time capsule of 60s London, including incredible over-the-top fashions!

Everyone involved with this film is firing on all cylinders: the direction, the cinematography, writing, cast, all perfection.

#RitaTushingham is so fun to watch; she is ALL OVER the frame, back and forth in the foreground and background; she makes you feel you’re in a cage with her. She’s constantly mugging into the camera in a way that makes it seem like she’s going to become a full-on comic character at any moment, but Tush doesn’t go there. Dot is ridiculous, but she’s never a joke.

… or if she is, she’s a sad one.

Dot finds photos of Reggie and Pete tucked into the frame of their mirror. Reggie looks happier with Pete than he ever was with Dot.
