A surprising gem of a film with a rye, dry sense of humor and a heroine we come to like and respect, because she likes and respects who she is. And that includes her body, which she brightly adorns, lovingly cleans, and supports as needed.
On a second viewing, I realized other assets of the character that I had over-looked the first time. She has clear boundaries, she won't be patronized, she's not afraid to look ridiculous in pursuit of her goal.
The love scene is both radical and beautiful. Humanistic. Sweet. I could do a whole essay on that and where it stands in the history of film, but won't bore you here.
A thoughtful, carefully rendered film with a rather profound message. I'll be looking for more from this creative group.
