Sex happens in the shower, love happens in the bath. Among its other virtues, Gillian Robespierre’s “Landline” is the rare movie that appreciates the difference between the pleasure of standing in the water and the satisfaction of soaking in it — the difference between trying someone on for size and swishing around in their dirt until your skin prunes and the water runs cold. Almost everything that a second feature should be, the film is bigger, richer, shaggier, and more satisfying than Robespierre’s “Obvious Child,” though obviously a product of the same irreverent imagination. It’s that most elusive of indie dramedies: An honestly told story about the messiness of human relationships.
I thought I was okay and then Sister by Angel Olsen started playing and then I realized I want to scream and cry and be loved and get over you and die... fuck this movie for being everything I've been feeling for the past month
i'm just an only child, standing in front of a girl (jenny slate), asking her to be my sister
what i noticed during this movie is that jenny slate has really nice hands. really good fingers
oh

Super bougie but so sweet and so consistently funny. Not sure why this needed to take place in the mid-90's but apparently I was into the same stuff a teenage girl was back then, i.e. Liz Phair, Natalie Merchant, PJ Harvey, The Breeders, and occasional bumps of heroin.
Surprisingly, this movie just show the best sister relationship in a film industry history.
The 90's were so divine,
To go back and live in that time.
In an NYC home,
Where the only phone,
Was connected to a "Landline".
i dont really get why this was set in the 90s, i dont know what point it serves it just seems more like a derisive joke (90s fashion, rollerskating, and old computers are hilarious) than a genuine backdrop but idk
there's a scene where they laugh at a fat dude in a speedo which is nagl. fat bodies arent inherently funny. men have a little more leeway in inhabiting a fat body and im not super interested in defending them because rigid body standards don't apply to men in the same way as women and ultimately the man in question isnt fat in a way that regularly invites contempt, but it's pretty alienating and takes me out of the movie…
this is really more like a 3.75, because the pacing is really off in some places + i hate the title + cheating just... makes me feel really Gross but what can you really do when it's the subject of the whole film
but it's also not the only subject, and everything else about this really is so sweet and lovely and good god Edie Falco is a force with which to be reckoned. the scene on the bathroom floor made me bawl my goddamn eyes out - it was so honest, so sad, so painful, but so resilient. this film doesn't try to bite off more than it can chew and it really owns its heart because of that.
also 👀 who can peep me that ost thank you 👀
