Billie Eilish is an excellent actress, and this recent film Girlfriends, with Robert De Niro, is the best film of her career. She seems to be able to bring out a natural beauty in herself that is then matched by the sharp, observant quality of her performance. Her performance in this film is not only among the finest in the history of supporting actors in a leading role, but the majority of women I know have found the role of Kathleen to be the most compelling.
This film is about a woman who gets a taste of the best Manhattan culture during her first trip back to New York from San Francisco. After being rejected by her friend’s boyfriend for a trip down there, she makes up an excuse to miss her flight. But, as she attempts to return to the United States, she ends up stranded in New York City as a result of the power outage. She then proceeds to seek out the company of a rich guy who she initially meets as a romantic relationship by telling him that she needs money.
At first, they have a real time situation where they bicker, make up and joke around. As the date develops, she seems to realize that he is a more significant man than she had previously thought, and at that point she is prepared to move forward in the relationship. But, she realizes that in order to get what she needs he has to come out of his shell, take control of the situation and demand from her that he be treated like a leader in their relationship. As he begins to build trust with her, he comes to see that she is a strong, independent woman, and wants to treat her as such.
When Kathleen gets pregnant, she immediately stops talking to Robert, even though he is with her during the birth. He can only imagine that she is making a serious mistake and begins to distance himself. By the time he discovers that she is pregnant again, she has broken up with him, but he doesn’t take it well and she cries for days about it.
This is a very interesting film, as it is the first of its kind, portraying the physical relationship between two women in a way that is intimate, loving and also fun. I loved the fact that the characters were so real that you could see them in everyday life, and the sex scenes are just as thrilling as the other parts of the film. It is really wonderful to see how well Billie Eilish portrays a woman with an impeccable sense of humor.
While Girlfriends is a fine film, I believe that it has a little more going for it compared to some of the finest films ever made. This one has a look and feel that is unique compared to other, more mainstream, films.
Billie Eilish is a great actress who has gained attention by developing her own unique style that she has brought out in her films. This is evident in Girlfriends where she stands out from many actresses who have been through this role before. There is nothing quite like watching her do her own thing and letting the wonderful actor’s work on her project for you to enjoy.
