Crack open your handheld fan for this one, it’s a bright shinning seductive, steamer of a movie... You will need to fan yourself dramatically, to either cool yourself off or dry your tears. (or both)
Directed by Clint Eastwood, starring himself paired with Meryl Streep, the complexities explode within the bounds of the bare simplicities that compose this story.
Sarah and Heather discuss the fatalistic reverence in which these two soul mates meet and mate for only a brief, but unforgettable four days. Their connection so completely indelible and at times unspoken but so prominent that it has a life-changing profound effect on two grown up children who merely hear their story, decades later.
Revolving around the themes of duty, quantifiable dreams, obligation, setting an example, and the price of giving up your soul mate or the neighbors will talk, this movie will rattle your heart cage and make you think of that one magical person from the past who knew you so well after ten minutes that the air completely left the room, and you were forced to sabotage it because you can’t have nice things.
Scatter our ashes on the concrete bridges of Orange County, and tune in for yet another existential crisis inducing convo.
