Lovely & Amazing (2001)

This movie revolves around the lives of four females: Brenda Blethyn and her three daughters Catherine Keener, Emily Mortimer, and Raven Goodwin. All four of them suffer from extreme self esteem issues and make incredibly poor decisions because of it. The only one who I give a pass to is Goodwin as she’s a child and has little adult guidance as her wealthy mother leaves her in the care of her sisters while she gets liposuction. I either had forgotten or hadn’t realized Goodwin acted as a child; she’s easily the best part of this film. The film itself is very evocative of indie films of the era and I wasn’t surprised to see that it shared directors with Friends with Money. I think I had seen both films soon after their releases. They have great casts but are equally unmemorable.
