    Very dramatic, full of humour, not too snarky, those who are mavericks have a hard time because there are too few people to point them in the direction, this sentence is too good to...

    Two and a half stars. In the eyes of the 18-year-old, he was corrupt and ugly at the age of 30. Despite their cynicism no matter how hard they work, and the romantic life of failure, they are still overwhelmed and let their destiny go with the flow. This is a love letter from Baumbach to Greta, which makes her shine, but it strays from the...

    The campus literature club that wanted to join lost interest when Paikou was on his face. The Manhattan apartment I wanted to live in, when I climbed in from the fire ladder, I stopped thinking about it. The American hostess who wanted to become rotten when facing collapse due to lack of money. I think of myself as a beauty. You think of myself as a genius. She believes that she has commercial potential. We all believe that we are a campfire and others are matches, like the last cowboy, alone...

    The inner core is already a bit like Woody Allen peeling off all the ruthless faces, but unfortunately the finale was filled with a big mouthful of chicken soup; a long shot of the villa was a special Screwball, which I liked very...

Mistress America quotes

    Tracy: [narrating] Meadow had made rich fat women less fat, and rich stupid kids less stupid, and lame rich men less lame. And she wanted so badly to be on the other side... to be fat and stupid and lame and rich. But what she couldn't see most of all, more than she couldn't see that she was never going to get the restaurant, was that those people were *nothing* compared to her. They were matches to her bonfire. She was the last cowboy, all romance and failure. The world was changing, and her kind didn't have anywhere to go. Being a beacon of hope for lesser people... is a lonely business.

  • Tracy: It was clear that the thing that Meadow wanted most in the world, the thing that she wanted to define her, to give her a place to put her time and talents, her everything, the restaurant, it was clear that it will never happen. The most surprising thing was that Meadow was actually surprised by it. She could see the world with painful accuracy, but she couldn't see herself or her fate. And because I was in love with her I decided I couldn't see it either.
