I’m biased, for my love and adoration for Audrey Hepburn increases with every film I watch, but Funny Face might very well become one of my all-time favourites.

Forgetting the story itself for a while, the direction and the time period the film portrayed were so captivating, and all the singing and dancing scenes put a huge smile on my face. I don’t think there was much of a story in the film, just like there wasn’t one in Roman Holiday or Breakfast at Tiffany’s; but that’s not the point, it’s the feeling you get from watching these films, for me it’s happiness, inspiration, contentment. Art house and indie films are the ones to choose for really deep and meaningful storylines – everything else is meant to be taken more lightly and enjoy the moments that bring you joy.

I just can’t get over the fact how beautiful Audrey Hepburn was, she’s beyond… everything.

Okay, I realize that this film is historically popular, but I just couldn’t stand it at all. The song and dance scenes were ridiculous and way too long, the story is full of anti-feminist messages, and the plot was slow and underdeveloped.

From all I’ve heard about Audrey Hepburn (this is the first film I’ve seen her in), I expected this film to be at least alright, but it turned out to be horrible.
