In Her Shoes (2005 Curtis Hanson)

Written by the reliable Susannah Grant from Jennifer Weiner's novel.

Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, Shirley Maclaine, Richard Burgi, Mark Feurstein, Candice Azzarra and Ken Howard (parents), Brooke Smith (friend), Francine Beers, Norman Lloyd.

Good acting, good direction allows actors to breathe (e.g. scene between Diaz and Maclaine where she decides to go into business).

Very satisfying story, knock-out final poem by e.e.Cummings.

Shot by Terry Stacey.

It's No. 53 in the Cahiers du Cinéma Top 100 - ahead of Les Quatres Cents Coups, if you can believe that!*

* I absolutely do not believe that and was right to double-check the list. No. 53 is Some Came Running - In Her Shoes is not in the list at all.
