Very cool to talk to director @alicewu.bsky.social on the occasion of her SAVING FACE becoming a part of the Criterion Collection! Alice is feeling seen by two very different complicated women: Frances from FRANCES HA and Jane from BROADCAST NEWS.

Meanwhile, #F1 felt like being in a loud nightclub AND a very long board meeting simultaneously. Did not like.

Thank you to @letterboxd.social for commemorating our 20th anniversary with a wonderful conversation with Adesola Thomas! So wild it's been 20 years when the actors still look exactly the same...

Upon Saving Face’s twentieth anniversary, writer-director Alice Wu chats with Adesola about her history-making rom-com’s lesbian legacy, finding inspiration in Tootsie and why her film is ultimately a love letter to her mother. boxd.it/2ys

Holy shit, right?? If 2025 us had gone back to Forensic to tell 2004 us what was coming, we'd never have believed it. (Maybe Robin would have believed it... but mostly she would have just yelled at us for not believing.) Anyhow, to us! And thank you for SO MUCH!
