The more I see..
these women who are around my age with not one line on their faces the more I appreciate my lines. Yes, I have smiled, laughed, cried, frowned, been confused and oh have I ever been angry and my face showed it every time. I wear a map of the emotional journeys I have been on in my life. Sure, some genetics and some bad and good choices effected how the map looks but even that tells its own story, indeed. Actually I am lucky that even though I had to grow old naturally I'm told I don't look my age often and I am sure its all about my attitude more than how my actual face looks. Frankly, Kidman has often seemed frozen to me and now her face is as well. The film sounds just as stiff and self absorbed as Kidman has seemed to me for a while. Hey, in fact, she often is like that sofa in the film. Over obvious attempts to seem thoughtful and wise when really...not so much. I was, however greatly amused and thoroughly entertained by Stephanie Zacharek's review of the film. Wonderfully provocative writing that conjured up the images and the ideas in ways I can tell the film sadly missed. Well done!
