I don't know why it took me so long to watch this classic film, because I knew immediately that I was going to love it. Perhaps recent personal issues made the movie even more resonant, but regardless, I enjoyed every funny, awful, heroic moment. Though it's focused on a particular zeitgeist, I think its story transcends and speaks to contemporary women's issues in just as many poignant ways. The film wrestles with heavy gender issues in a way that left me feeling just enough hope in the midst of overwhelming disappointment, because, hey? What else can you do?
