I had seen it, but had I really SEEN it? No. 

Wow and ouch!!! Literally ouch! 

Have I ever been touched by performances like Jodie’s and Sir Tony’s? (She should be Dame if we’re playing that game) 

All together excited, riddled and quite honestly, petrified. 

It’s a perfect film. DAMN. The layers! 

Shout out of the week goes to Chris Edwards for the 3 minute video essay dissecting Hanni & Clarice’s first interaction, when we realise…uh oh, a game is afoot!!!!!

My final takeaway: when the movie was finished and we’d said our goodbyes, we each made sure we got home safe. And sadly, and amazingly, this is girlhood 🫡

After years of not having seen it, my housemates and I cosied in on the comedown from Mardi Gras weekend and watched this together. 

I suppose I forgot, or maybe didn’t quite understand, how monumental this film is 

Was it the comedown, was it the film? 

Howling at the first shot of the silver stiletto and
billowing fabric to match cascading over the red dirt. That’s Australia!!! And I am crying! 
I am also crying at the corroboree
I am also crying when Mitzi realises the kind of kid Benj is  

Yes, the representation wasn’t authentic but I don’t think it takes away from the fact that this was made in 1994 and what it has done for queer culture in Australia, and the world. 

Also, it’s still funny as fuck.

😭😭🫡🫡

My good god 
Guy 😩😬 that is a gorgeous man 
That kind of performance from the actor who plays Bruno…ok ok I’m googling, his name is Robert Walker is genuinely bone chilling 
Ms Anne, the actor is Ruth Roman. Now that is an intelligent and beautiful gal! Gorgeous 
And Babs…legendary. As Ari said “she gets it”…Ari, I concur 

I’m suspecting I’ll have nightmares. Well done, Alfred

Sure, it’s definitely dated 
But god if this isn’t a great movie?!!

Yeah for a rom com? this is great!!!!

It’s really good actually

My word

The pain the anguish in my heart 

I’d crumble in this society 

Despite it being told from DDL’s perspective, all I feel is the pangs of my soul aching for those women. Of course 

Wow

Wait, ps I feel like I understand why people would religiously see the opera…those singers got to express everything the audience was feeling in their tightly buttoned suits, covering the bubbling pot of their SOUL underneath…when words fail cos feelings too big = opera, baby. WOW 

Makes sense in my head, no further questions. This is my Letterboxd

I am bawling

I just looked at the real Kevin, and oh god I hope he’s happy 

Wow oh my god

Slaps harder the second time?!!!

The only thing scarier than an inbred Goliath woman who wants to feed people on her mummy milkers, is a man 

Is that the point they were making?

What is the culture that made you say culture was for you? 
Em-pir-e 
Rec-orrrds 

If you want to know me better, this film explains a lot
It’s my favourite film, actually 
And I could tell you in depth, scene by scene, why it’s brilliant…I’m not going to, but I COULD

Does anyone wanna talk about the nerve of Andrew Scott bringing this kind of performance with me? Draw a mind map on his process? Cos wtf 

This show has everything, but is mostly coo coo banana pants camp the house down boots boots and screaming yes diva

Ok I understand why Cynthia and Ari cry in every interview now…the tenderness and joy. That was special 

I’d heard how funny Ariana was but omg I was pissingggg 

Heavily sobbed a few times 
Notably, when Glinda starts dancing with Elphie in the Ozdust Ballroom….cyaaaaaa 

Thinking of starting a petition to re-edit Defying Gravity…you know the bit. I’m mad!! 
Still, that voice. 
Cynthia has been my queen for years and she was fucking spectacular…of course 

Blown away by Ariana 

Proud of baby Bowen Yang x

Ok I was cackling!!!!!!!! This is FUNNYYYY

Ok fun and absolutely buck wild 
Terribly cringey in places 
Ayo and Rachel generally slay

No notes 
Perfect film 
Doing 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 at the end, followed by “let her rest”

Big call, but honestly the best piece of Shakespeare I’ve seen on film 
It was like a modern retelling of this classic without changing any of the text. It felt so incredibly fresh and truthful and they treated Romeo and Juliet like actual people with emotional intelligence rather than 🤪 crazy kids in love 🤪 and I really liked that choice 
The cinematography was so innovative and stunning which leads me to Simon Godwin’s direction which was perfect 
Every performance was phenomenal and full of depth and every actor moved me greatly 
UGH
I won’t be shutting up about this film ever.

Made me feel very 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

It’s just really fucking funny and iconic 
Maude Lebowski swinging at an alarming speed naked for art is truly inspiring actually

Yeah Jesus Christ

Weird 
Happy I watched it. Would probably never watch again 
Tilda speaks about three words and yet, her performance lacked nothing and of course had me gooped and gagged
The best scene was Ralph Fiennes dancing to The Stones’ Emotional Rescue
