Viewing Notes

Not a comedy but it has plenty of humorous moments, particularly the catty banter between all the women, who are terrific in this. So happy to finally revisit this after all these years, esp. in the Secret Cinema. Also glad to own it again on BD after pAT absconded with my original BD I bought back in 2013.

And super happy this movie holds up. That 135min runtime flies by. Wish more 2+ hour films were paced this well.
