The character of Frances anchors this wonderful film. Her exuberances amplifies the whole 20-something trying to find her footing plot. In the same breath, I think Frances knew what she wanted and actually did have it figured out (even if she herself didn't believe so). My favorite movies, at their heart, have stories of unforgettable friendships and inextricable bonds. The relationship between Frances and Sophie (eep cute names) was lovely. It's just what I want in a friendship (but not all friendships), where we're the same person, and that might get annoying but you just get each other. Frances says it best when she says, "It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess." That was taken from imdb.com, I didn't memorize it, but now I kind of want to!
I love the spontaneity of France's spirit and her confidence. She is who she is and I admire that.
In conclusion, I <3 Frances and I'm ready to embroider it on a pillow.
