Review

one of the better films of the 90s. it helped create a new indie aesthetic and, along with pulp fiction, made flowery language fun again. funny, yet has an emotional maturity that makes the ending weighty and natural. chasing amy was similar in this regard, but i found it to be too far towards the serious end of the spectrum. the other smith films lacked the balance of emotional weight and comedy that this exhibited.
