Review: Shopgirl

Gwen's movie review of Shopgirl, a film based on the novella by Steve Martin and starring Steve Martin, Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman

Mirabelle (Danes) is an aspiring artist working behind the glove counter at a Beverly Hills department store when she meets two very different men- Jeremy (Schwartzman), a socially inept guy who doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and Ray (Martin) a wealthy entrepreneur who has the world at his feet.

Shopgirl is a love story. I love love stories. It's quiet, sutble and touching. Beautifully done, elegantly executed. I laughed out loud, giggled and smirked as well as welled up with tears. One of Claire Danes' best work. I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.
