James Gay-Rees – Amy
“I think why she connected to people and why this movie works is because she wasn’t a manufactured pop star.”
David Thorpe – Do I Sound Gay?
“I think ‘queer’ used to be a very hurtful insult, but now it has value.”
Love is Strange
“Actors John Lithgow and Alfred Molina’s chemistry is all the emotion the film needs.”
Catherine Scott & Rachel Wotton – Scarlet Road (DVD)
“My whole job entails giving pleasure.”
Bully
“Hirsch approaches the film with more of a ‘Just Say No’ message than with a sense of urgency.”
Lisa Lampanelli – Long Live the Queen
“Guys know the best sex is with crazy girls, freakin’ nutty bitches.”
