..looks suitably odd.





The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Hmmm, on the fence, think a Likely Stories version would have been enough, this has the strange whiff of YA meets 70's nostalgia

Elle Fanning was the perfect amount of creepy casting.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

It looks like they expanded on the short story for the movie. Or have I just forgotten some bits and pieces?

Probably not?

Critical response

How to Talk to Girls at Parties received a negative response from critics at Cannes. As of October 1st, 2017, on Rotten Tomatoes the film has a 28% approval rating, based on 18 reviews, with an average score of 4.7/10. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter stated that despite the charming characters of Elle Fanning (a curious alien) and Nicole Kidman (a nihilistic low priestess), its attempts to "add political substance feels less than half-cooked" and in effect sacrifices "narrative cohesion" and "overcomplicates" Neil Gaiman's 18-page story.


Still, never trust a rotten tomato, yeah?

Or really, probably any tomato.

it looks like they really got away from the graphic novel, not as in plot but in creepiness and all out wtf moments. I do agree that elle fanning was perfect for this role
