wild roses - no issues pour moi re: $$$$ characters; in fact don't think I've even mentioned it. Not sure the characters in either Virgin Suicides or (at least) the Charlotte character in LIT are particularly wealthy. I totallu get that's not where you are coming from or what you are criticizing. Hey, lots of people agree with you on this forum.

Interesting thoughts abuot beauty, wealth and isolation - definitely an "OLD" story, like medieval romances or even fairy tales. I like that Sofia doesn't offer trite happy endings at least!

Sofia's ability to build an authentic and real person can draw you in, it has for me. And often times, it's her very subtle direction that does it for me; the simple but awkward unspoken moments, pause, silence between her characters are what I adore about her them. It's a genuine vulnerability that I can relate to, and those instances win me over. It really comes down to personal taste and perspective.
Yep, same.
