Lovely & Amazing
Lovely & Amazing (2001), Nicole Holofcener:
So the moral is I should stop watching movies just because they're on tv.
Like Crash, L&A adds another to the pantheon of guilt-porn, making you feel terrible about being an upper-middle class white woman. Featuring women behaving like terrible people and trying to cope when they get their collective comeuppance, the simplistic reduction as insult is magnified by the unburdened little black girl serving as moral foil (the great Ashlynn Rose. I don't blame her).
2/15
