Yesterday, About Time came out on DVD. I wanted to take this opportunity to GUSH about how much I love this movie. Domhnall Gleeson is so spectacular as our romantic lead (Tim) that I'm sitting on my couch, asking, "Benedict who?" Which is ironic, because Tim manages to find Mary at a Kate Moss exhibit entitled "Kate Who?" Still, I'm disappointed that my cat is at the other end of the sofa sleeping, and has not yet transformed into Domhnall Gleeson out of the sheer force of my love.
Sigh.
The supporting cast is also pitch perfect; I've never seen such a cavalier Bill Nighy, and Lydia Wilson is charming as Tim's sister Kit Kat. I've read that Zooey Deschanel was meant to play Mary, but Rachel McAdams, with her fringe and glasses, brings an honesty to her unfashionable-ness that Deschanel overwhelms with "quirk."
If I don't come back from London next fall, it's because I'm trying to live this movie.
