[second try - something happened to the first post...?]
Thank you, Mews, for coming back. Again, loads of EW fans, intelligent and savvy (see Honey's post below), love EW's scenes in All I Want. It's one of those brick wall things, I guess. I will say, however, many of the screencaps from Jones's kissing scenes are quite lovely. Looking at the screencaps, I can imagine the scenes differently so that I view them with a lot of appreciation. It is only when I am actually watching the film that I recoil.
I was trying to think of any other movies I had seen that gave more than just the woman's emotional pov, and I really can't. Until BBM, of course. Maybe that's why audiences are relating to it in a way that seems to be so surprising to many of the critics.
I think you are quite right. See Taerie's remark below, hoping that film folks will sit up and listen on this issue.
