Review by wexlers ★★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Dear baby.
I hope someday, somebody
wants to hold you
for 20 minutes straight,
and that's all they do.
They don't pull away.
They don't look at your face.
They don't try to kiss you.
All they do is wrap you up
in their arms
and hold on tight without
an ounce of selfishness to it.
WHEN SHE TOLD HIM TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HER LIFE, POETIC CINEMA!
Review by Mike Flanagan 43

Adrienne Shelley's gentle, earnest, and spectacularly sweet comedy/drama remains as effervescent as it was upon release 17 years ago. Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion are superb, but the real star is writer/director/co-star Shelley herself, who makes a small but welcome impact in front of the camera, and a huge impact behind it.
Released only weeks after her murder at the age of 40 (watch the powerful HBO documentary ADRIENNE), WAITRESS embodies the promise of the career she would have had, announcing a major and unique talent just as she was finding her voice and stride - a voice clearly forged in the crucible of the 90's and early 00's indie scene.
The delightful characters, exuberant filmmaking, and wonderfully stylized dialogue…

The fact that she liberates herself before she knows about the money is everything.

How can we watch women written and portrayed with such love and humanity and then go back to you know... the other stuff
Review by Sally Jane Black 6

cw: abuse
"All my life, Baby, the only thing I wanna do is run away."
Of the many lines in this movie to resonate with me to the point where I began to cry, this hit the hardest. I have written before about how growing up in a small, repressive town left me with no ambitions but to escape. Jenna's smalltown Southern life, trapped in an abusive marriage, shackled by economic hardship and an unwanted pregnancy, desperately fighting for a piece of understanding or freedom, it's not my life, but that line, that moment, that sentiment reached so much deeper:
It's always been about our bodies.
When Earl makes demands of Jenna, he demands her loyalty, her love, and most…

made me pro infidelity for a sec then the ending reminded me that men are irrelevant
Review by 👽hayley👽 ★★★★ 1

try find something more wholesome than female friendships ~you~ ~cant~ ~do~ ~it~
Review by Leighton Trent ★★★★ 8

Women writing and directing stories almost exclusively about women that sympathize and empathize with the experiences of women. THERE ARE STILL NOT ENOUGH OF THESE.
Adrienne Shelly, we were robbed of so many great things that were yet to come from you.
Review by alex ★★★★½
