my reaction to the where’d you go bernadette trailer..
“It’s a funny thing about comin’ home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you.”
“It’s a very funny and painful look at a woman who has in a moment of caos approaching an enormous change in her life and all of the garbage and rubbish that comes up from who you thought you’d be having to face who you are, to move on to who you might possibly become.”
“It’s hilarious in it’s accuracy but painful and often embarrassing confronting who you are.”
“Bernardette is confounding. She is fiercely intelligent, hypercritical of the world around her. She’s bewildered by Seattle but even more bewildered by who she has become and she is as critical and savage on herself as she is on the world around her.”
“Bernadette has avoided thinking about 99% of who she is. She has experienced profound deep public artistic failure. She is going thorugh tumultous change in her life.”
“Bernadette isn’t crazy. The world is crazy.” — Richard Linklater
