Lovely & Amazing (2001)

Lovely u0026 Amazing: Directed by Nicole Holofcener. With Troy Ruptash, Emily Mortimer, Brenda Blethyn, Raven Goodwin. Self-esteem and insecurity are at the heart of this comedy about the relationship between a mother and her three confused daughters.

“I was really impressed by the solid characterizations and the comfort Holofcener has with the story and the script, even among the uncomfortable issues it raises. Finally, a feminine anti-hero film that does not attempt to make any statements about Women or Men, but just gives roles to women that are refreshingly human. The characters are often unsympathetic, but that makes it work so much the better. Shooting in HD video is the best choice over regular DV, and it is almost believable to be film. A solid film and worth seeing!”
