Copenhagen (2014)
light spoilers, i hesitate to even refer to it as a spoiler
i let the description deter me for a long time and i regret that because its super awesome. netflix kept recommending it to me but in the description it talks about a guy and a 14yo girl so of course i'm creeped out but i was home alone with an injury for days and bored to death so i watched it and i loved loved it. if you can't handle the anti-hero it's not for you; william is flawed and a jerk bordering on loser but i was routing for him the whole time and that is excellent character building to me. effie is great; wise and a free spirit but still vulnerable. their back and forth dialogue is unforced and natural; love that not every single thing is explained in depth and the audience is allowed to draw their own conclusions. the setting and the way its shot is brilliant! here comes the spoilers...god, when she is singing to him in the karaoke bar and the way he looks at her, i'm happily married but i've never had a man look at me like that, like he can't believe she's even real. the struggle of it being so right in the face of logic, true romance to me. there are times the characters speaking aren't even in the frame and it just feels so natural. great soundtrack too. the fact that europe is making movies (and TV) like this with English actors playing Americans while Hollywood is pushing out the latest melissa mccarthy embarrassment is a true signal to me that Hollywood's time is drawing near. i hope they make a sequel and call it new york city and when she's 18 visits him and they have adventures and get their HEA because at the end of the day i'm still a girl and like the mush.
