Would re-watching this movie leave me with that uncomfortable bipolar feeling of intense embarrassment/disgust at the sometimes cheesy-ness of the plot combined with crazy strange love for the characters? Indeed, the movie hasn't changed after all these years, nor has my reaction to it. My favorite part was the 10 year retrospective in which I spent a lot of time wondering why in the heck Helen Childress hasn't ever written anything for movies ever again.
I am so glad it held the same wonder and joy for you. How many times did we watch this movie together. I need to get the 10 year retrospective version in my NetFlix queue.
