not as good as all the hype

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

What the hell is Jana Straulino doing in this opinionated piece of declamatory bullshit? Okay, so with a dozen TV show appearances and a handful of minor cinematic credits to her name she doesn't exactly have an A-list track record. But she sure moves like a ballerina. I guess after 13 years of training at John Neumeier's school, she *is* a ballerina in every sense that matters. With that Jean Seberg hairstyle and her killer cheekbones, she should be tanning on a Riva Ariston moored off the Cap D'Antibes, or lighting candles in an Eastern European cathedral the size of Mount Makalu. But instead, for reasons all her own, she has chosen to join the editorial staff of that latest and least inspired journalistic "me too" venture, German Vanity Fair. Here is a girl who needs to get out of Berlin-Friedrichshain *bad*. Someone please take heart and cast her in something glamorous.
