"so, what do you do?"
"it's kind of hard to explain."
"because ... what you do is complicated?"
"because I don't really do it."
LET ME LIVE I DIDN'T NEED TO BE CALLED OUT LIKE THIS AT ONE AM

SOPHIE I FUCKING HELD YOUR HEAD WHILE YOU CRIED I BOUGHT SPECIAL MILK FOR YOU I KNOW WHERE YOU HIDE YOUR PILLS DON’T TREAT ME LIKE A 3-HOUR BRUNCH FRIEND

I've now seen Frances Ha three times

The first time I was younger than Frances is in the movie (she's 27). I couldn't stand most of the characters and thought the movie was just okay.

The second time I was 27. By then I had lived through (or was currently living through) much of what Frances does in the movie. I understood these characters now, and watching the movie was a mildly devastating emotional experience. I loved it.

This time I'm older than Frances. Watching it feels like a harrowing flashback to when I was 27 that really isn't far off from my life now. I don't think I've seen another movie that captures this experience of being in your late 20s in New York during this decade and trying to get your shit figured out. I still love it.

it's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. and it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. it's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. that's - that's what I want out of a relationship. or just life, i guess

elio and oliver did that

normalise greeting people with the phrase “ahoy sexy”

frances cooking for everyone in benji & lev’s apartment. or bending down to tell patch she likes him after he drops her off at her dorm, and him saying the same. benji making the decision to leave frances’ bedroom door open so he can hear her throughout the night. or explaining how her show reminded him of something he saw at the met. we’re all just trying our best, giving what we can, learning to say what we feel when we feel it.

why is this movie literally about everyone

this movie makes me feel like everything is going to be okay and i really needed that in my life

I'm so embarrased. I'm not a real person yet

“Don’t treat me like a three hour brunch friend”
