| 2:56 | Seems like one of those things you don’t really notice is everywhere until it’s a problem. |
| 8:04 | “I always wanted one of your touchy-feely rocks.” |
| 9:57 | Not having a TV or a laptop. Not fun. |
| 11:41 | She looks like Phoebe! |
| 12:54 | I do miss flipping the flip phone. Always good to mess about with. |
| 15:16 | It’s P!nk! I love P!nk. |
| 16:17 | I think the blue stripe is so we know she’s not being P!nk. |
| 21:53 | “Some people don’t need a group to lean on, some people can do it on their own.” |
| 23:57 | Scare slash impress. |
| 33:09 | You can’t just build a Koi pond in someone’s garden. |
| 34:52 | “Look at your plate of vegetables all segregated and such.” |
| 47:11 | That frowny “is that even a thing” is how I imagine everyone reacts. |
| 56:04 | Sad or happy or tired or bored. That covers quite a lot of time. |
| 58:40 | Cycling in New York must be absolutely terrifying. |
| 1:04:14 | I know they need it for the plot but I’m always surprised when people approach other people in restaurants. So rude. |
| 1:07:50 | It’s taking days for them to do this pond. How would it ever have been a surprise. |
| 1:13:21 | Yea, I wouldn’t do well in the weird dancey place either. |
| 1:20:33 | The relationships are all falling apart now. Boo. |
| 1:26:12 | I guess if you’re gonna fall off the wagon, you might as well do it properly. |
| 1:42:27 | I want chips. Not sure what for yet, but I like achievements. |
Thoughts
We saw the trailer for this a while back and had forgotten about it until it suddenly appeared in the iTunes chart. One rental later, and we were enjoying watching P!nk in a film!
It was really very good. Unusual, and oddly arty in places, but an interesting story, fascinating characters and some tough scenes. I read a description of it as First World Problems: The Movie which is very true, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good portrayal of the battle with addiction, and how it affects everyone, not just those going through it.
Plus I really love P!nk!
