The Lying, the Bitch, and the Wardrobe
Anthony Lane’s Sex and the City review in the New Yorker is all one-liners:
- “Apparently,” I said to the woman behind me in line, “some of the girls have problems with their men, break up for a while, and then get back together again.” “Oh, my God!” she cried. “How do you know?”
- To be fair, there are four of them—banded together, like hormonal hobbits, and all obsessed with a ring.
- Think of it as a chick response to “American Psycho”
- “I can build you a better closet,” he says, as if that were a binding condition of their sexual harmony: if he builds it, she will come.
- The most revealing line in the film [is] Miranda’s outburst as she hunts for an apartment in a mainly Chinese district: “White guy with a baby! Let’s follow him.” So that’s what drives these people: Aryan real estate.
