Catherine Keener? She's so friggin good, I can't stand it. I loved this movie. It does something that was hard for me to put my finger on, but I think I've got it now--It shows that we can't always hope for a lot in the world, in terms of validation or support, but we always have our humor. That seems really slight, but it means a lot. These people were really not happy in most moments, but they could manage to still be clever or witty. Sometimes, if you can't laugh at life, you'd never stop crying. Emily Mortimer was great- the scene everyone talked about is as good as they said.And Catherine Keener. She's such an original. I almost hate, her she's so perfect.
