Puccini For Beginners (2006) with Elizabeth Reaser, Gretchen Mol and Justin Kirk

I was drawn in by the idea of opera-loving lesbians, because I'm an opera-loving queerbait and I love opera-loving lesbians, and it seemed fluffy and pithy.

I hated Allegra, the protagonist. She reminded me of myself at 21. It annoyed me. Grace reminded me of myself... rather, who I'd want to be if I wasn't afraid to be. Philip... ugh, his hair. Show me a butch with his hair and I'll marry hym.

I don't know what more to say without spoiling it. If you don't mind rolling your eyes a little over dialogue that tries far too hard to be intellectual, and laughing at very neurotic people, you're either a Frasier fan and you'd love it or you're not a Frasier fan and it's still worth enjoying.
