Great "girl" scene

I'll admit it. I haven't even seen this film and actually discovered it by accident, but now I can't stop watching it. What I love is how comfortable the characters are with each other here. And how truthfully it captures moments when two girls are just swept away by some glamorous tale one of them is telling. Watch how the girl with straight hair soaks up every morsel of Emily Blunt's character in the scene. You can't take your eyes off the silent girl. Acting is reacting. Acting is listening and this scene captures flawlessly how you can steal a scene without uttering one line, just by listening well. It's also a wonderful example of a great "girl moment" on film. Yeah, I really love this. Guess I'll have to see the whole thing, now. Watch:
