I'm a fan of Sofia Coppola, so I think that helped give me an appreciation for what she was trying to do with this one. One of the biggest reasons I saw this, was to see Elle Fanning's performance. I think the last I saw her in was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, so I really wanted to see her in something with a bigger role. I have to say that she showed promise, imo.
& i agree that it does go somewhere. it's quiet and maybe too static for some people, but I feel like it achieves this examination of family and connections -- a quiet heartbreaker. Sofia tends to do movies where it's more a collection of scenes rather than a straight changing story, and it worked here.
marathon time. yeah i agree, I wanted to see Elle... I'm not the biggest Dakota fan. I think she has a tendency to overact. Elle in this was pretty effortless, but that may also have something to do with Coppola's directing. she always draws out such ....realistic (i guess?) performances. you know? but I really thought Elle was great. and so chic. how is she so chic? she is like 12.
