Did something happen you didn’t want? Yes… she didn’t want me.
JanaFeb 21, 2025I just love how irrelevant and useless men are in this film. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a film that captures the feeling of falling in love for the first time so well. I feel hugged and warm on the inside.
BellaFeb 19, 2025The cafe scene is my favorite — it perfectly shows how we see those we love in a different light than they truly are, and how others see them.
