ALL THE REAL GIRLS
2003, David Gordon Green, United States
Repeat Viewing, DVD

I have seen All the Real Girls many many many times. Viewing George Washington yesterday left me wanting more David Gordon Green and it has been awhile since I last saw this film (which I try to revisit once a year at the very least). I absolutely love the feeling this film leaves me with… Breathless with joy and hope even in its saddest moments!! It’s beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, and absolutely lovely. David Gordon Green is a genius in my eyes. He is the next generations Terrence Malick… a poet of filmmaking. To date, Green has made three films (all of which I believe to be great) and I think he will continue making great films, but I don’t know if he’ll ever surpass All the Real Girls. I love this filmmaker, I love this cast, I love this film. “You have my heart…”
