films about women's friendship

I originally watched this movie because I liked Dylan Thomas' poetry, but the real core of the movie is this rare friendship between the two women in Thomas's life. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller's captivating performances are a highlight of the film. When men are unreliable, in fact, women support each other is king. The important characters in this film are imperfect characters trying to survive the war. The focus of the film is not on the ugliness of war but on the ugliness between people in our daily lives: there is betrayal, there are lies, but there is friendship and there is a woman's self-improvement.

Dylan Thomas: Oh, dear, the police'll be chasing you.

Vera Phillips: I don't melt at the sight of a uniform, that's all. Sod it. I don't like nosy parkers.
Caitlin MacNamara: It was a civil question. I could have said, "Are you after my husband?" But I didn't.
Vera Phillips: Heartache, that's what I see in a uniform. I'm not gonna love someone just to have them die off on me.
