I adored the novella, but I didn't feel Danes and Martin projected the chemistry they should have. The film followed the book, relatively, but I feel there should have been more narration to express some of the scenes that were so well written in the book. With that said, I was, however, very impressed with Schwartzman's portrayal of Jeremy.

Shopgirl is worth the investment: 1. The characters are real and rich. 2. The film appreciates overtime. For instance, I watched it last night, 4th time by the way, I can never get tired of it.

Tagline: "Relationships don't always fit like a glove." Or Steve Martin's elaborate network of trusses. Or the paper tray on the Lost in Translation Xerox machine. Or a forefinger at the back of my tongue.

I felt empowered after watching this- like I had learned something from Mirabelle.
