Love or loathe movie. Kirsten Dunst was wonderful in this pale yet bright movie that seems a bullet inside your head: you feel pain, you feel lost, confused, sad, emotional and still can laugh about it all a little. The truth is you can either love it or hate it but the bullet stays in your head and so do the girls.

Thank Sofia Coppola first. But that was a lovely comment that you did.

I don't know if that was the point, but I though this was a very blunt movie. Even the great tragedy left me kind of indifferent... It has an amazing soundtrack throughout, so good that it even gives some scenes the emotions that they're lacking. The hair and style of Josh Hartnett were a big fat joke, and very distracting! Kirsten Dunst and Kathleen Turner are the ones carrying this movie along.
