Ginger and Rosa

there's so much more to this movie than everyone seems to be getting from it. I think y'all need to watch it again.

Matt Richards

Coming of age flick set against the idealism of the flower generation in 60's England. The craft is all there and the performances are decent enough but it needed to push a little harder and possibly a little less cliched to show us something fresh within the idea of the collision of idealism via the ego. 3 stars

Kyle Lewis

Sumptous visuals and a great turn by Elle Fanning are enough to give it 3 stars. Their seems to be something more that should have come out of this material.

A friendship of two girls who are choosing different paths in life. Both take shocking actions to fullfill their dreams. Wonderfully shot, an emotional ride from start to finish.

For some reason I thought the plot of this film would be richer or complex. Elle Fanning, though, gives one of my favorite performances from that year.

Two and a half. Some moments of real drama and tension, but overall not as gripping/engaging as I thought it would be. However, it moves at a realistic pace and there are some really strong moments. Hendricks is not particularly suited to the part of Ginger's mum and seems fairly half-hearted in her portrayal. Also some beautiful cinematography!

~We're best friends. We're pretty. What about the bomb? Cry. Cry. Betrayal. Cry. What about the bomb? Food. Cry.~ SO bad. Spent 90 minutes waiting for something to happen, but it was the most dull, empty coming-of-age movie I've ever seen.

Nuclear metaphor grabs all the attention but Potter's screenplay is too clever to let it dominate. This isn't a story about how cute and fun and righteous the sixties were - thank fuck, too. It's about people who cling to abstract political convictions in the absence of empathy, spinning parental absenteeism as a moral stand, belittling their spouses. If you take not-Michael Fassbender at face value, you're a donkus.
