“i used to think about your life in new york. i tried to imagine your room. i kept track of the time difference... so i knew when you were awake and when you were asleep”
a tender star-crossed daydream. the three main character dynamics are special enough on their own, but the romance that blooms at the center is cathartically intimate and even magical: a reunion that feels so inevitable. catching glimpses of a past life, details we aren’t privy to. all the stolen kisses and whispers and promises. a bond so strong that they fall back in sync with each other like second nature, even if they try to fight against it. even if it won’t work. and yet they choose each other, even if for a few minutes

"You are free."
My mother had her worries about my attending a Catholic university, and it's only recently that I've come to understand why that was. I always had Jewish friends growing up, or at least other Jews around me. In college, none of my friends even had a real understanding of what Hanukkah was. This huge thing I was raised with, that meant so much to me, had absolutely no value to the people I was spending every day with. It's taken me a while to realize, but I really lost a greater sense of community then, and that seemingly minor shift affected me deeply.
I can only imagine what it's like to grow up in an Orthodox community…

When Rachel 1 asked Rachel 2 if she still only fancies women and Rachel 2 responded with a fervent nod, a devilish grin, and by taking a puff of Rachel 1's cigarette I lost it.
Honestly this may be the best stealth comedy of the year.
