"If I make it to 60, that'd be okay." - Wendy, Little Fish by Casey Plett
I have never been able to imagine myself in the future. Not even as a kid did I have any idea who or what I might be. By the time I was an adult, the thought of the future became terrifying; death seemed imminent no matter my age, health, or circumstance. Eventually, the depression would take over, the trauma, the pain, and seeing myself even a few years down the line simply because a laughable proposition. I struggle with it, this idea of anything beyond the immediate horizon. I am not one to live in the moment (more likely, I get stuck in loops…
Wildly funny, touching, poignant and special. I think if you can watch this movie and not feel anything then you’ve got no soul. So beautifully filmed, Nova Scotia looks so dreamy always, and just so full of heart and love. Beautiful.

This film doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. Heartfelt love story? Bawdy comedy? Quirky road trip? It’s basically Thelma and Louise with aging lesbians. (Yes, there’s even a sexy hitchhiker.)

I hope no gay grandmas come out of this ominous dark fog and fuckk meee that would be terrible
"sorry, it's the saddest thing in the world. [...] in your honeymoon, you waited 31 years and you only had that one day."
"the best fucking day of my life."
after many and many years of looking for this movie to watch, i FINALLY had the opportunity and i feel my heart happy and fulfilled. this is exactly the movie i needed to watch tonight and i didn't know it, and even if it's 3 o'clock in the morning now and i need to get out of bed and hit the road in four hours, i don't regret it one bit for staying up so late.
this is the kind of work that needs to get more visibility: it's about…
