Synopsis
A quirky 'love' story between a very-pierced 17 year old goth girl and a 49 year old haberdasher, and how they come to change one another's lives. Albert Brooks (BROADCAST NEWS) plays the middle-aged man to Leelee Sobieski's troubled teenager.

Customer Reviews

The most moving film I have seen this year
At the beginning it's not clear what the film is about, with the main character J having bizarre visions and flashbacks. I thought it would be one of those movies that spends it's time trying to be surreal and going nowhere. But as the story develops it becomes a touching tale of an unusual friendship. By the end I had tears pouring down my face. I loved it.

Pleasant
Very watchable film with excelent performances. Pity there are no more films of this type (unusual and pleasant story, well acted and directed).

One of the new kind of chick flicks and very good it is
This movie, made by one of the rare female mainstream moviemakers of our day is an indication of what kind of movie we could be getting more of if only there were more women directors and screenwriters out there. Yes there are elements of this film which I believe were overdone, but you get that when a film is trying hard to be different from other films in its genre. The movie has tremendous spirit, surprising depth, and best of all really, it has a very emotional nature. This was without doubt the overiding aim of the film's creator, to show a film which speaks to real modern day (young) women. I'm a bloke and I don't understand women at all, like most men, but I understood this movie perfectly. I probably wouldn't want every movie to be as emotionally sensitive as this one, but as a rare counterbalance to the shallow formula romcoms that abound, films like this are very welcome. An absolutely superb effort and much more lifelike and relevant than most big budget romcoms. I hope more movies like this will get made now.
