Movie Review - Desperately Seeking Susan
Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
directed by Susan Seidelman
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
I didn't like Patricia Arquette until Lost Highway. In the last three days I've seen her sister Rosie in two of the roles she's proudest of. They're both great. What's next? Friday night with Eight Legged Freaks? Who knows. "Desperately Seeking Susan" works like a musical - so much that's fantastical it's easy to lose track of how ordinary the emotions are. But we're all right there with Stephen Wright when he falls for the half-sawed magician's assistant.
