That's a lovely piece. About the film for one thing. I've not seen it in forever and you made me want to see it again. Which is what good film writing does, yes? Because of things happening in my own life I've thought about this kind of love and friendship a lot lately. There's something about the kind of love for someone when most of illusions about each other are gone, and you're left with each other's failures to live up to better selves. There's something very real and kind and tender about that love.
