"Good Luck to You, Leo Grande"

I kind of adored this quiet, short film.  It was funny, sad, touching, sweet, and thoughtful.  It stuck with me for a good while after viewing.  Brava Bravo to Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormick, who are so connected and vibrant you can't take your eyes off of them.  The script is outstanding and the subject matter ... something important.  Really important.  People say, and I've always strongly disagreed, that "Thelma and Louise" is a feminist film.  It isn't.  And I would argue the point but this film is, in my humble opinion, one of the most feminist films I've ever seen.  It's about empowerment, choice, love -- of others and of self.  It really got to me.  No other words.  It's pretty much perfect.
