Re-released this week with a half-hour retrospective documentary, this classic is looking better than ever:

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

No love for the great Louis Malle's last film? For Julianne Moore's best performance? For one of the best representations of Chekhov on film?


Oh, well. Back to DANCE MOMS...

It's something I've been meaning to watch now for a while.

I didn't realize Brooke Smith was in it until I read your link, and I'm in the mood for some more Julianne after Game Change last week...I guess watching this now would be a better way of procrastinating than my usual diet of BWW or E!.

Beyoncé is not an ally. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Carter. #Dubai #$$$

Stellar film. Stellar performances. Brooke Smith is heartbreaking. Hers is my favorite performance in the film. Julianne Moore has never been better.

Thrilled for this re-release.
