Movie Fave #1 : Shopgirl

Starring: Steve Martin and Claire Danes
Rating : 4/5 stars

Relationships don't always fit like a glove.

But Mirabelle, now feeling the warmth of her first reciprocal love, was broken away from him. And as Jeremy offers her more of his heart...Mirabelle offers equal parts of herself in return. At this point Jeremy surpasses Ray Porter as a lover of Mirablle because what he offers her is tender and true.

Some nights alone, he thinks of her.
Some nights alone, she thinks of him.
Some nights these thoughts occur at the same moment.
And Ray and Mirabelle are connected whithout them knowing it.

As Ray Porter watches Mirablle walk away he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her. Only then that he realize how wanting a part of her and not all of her has hurt them both. And how he cannot justify his actions except that...well, it was life.
