And she's not only Australian but also only 35 - does that count as middle aged now????
I like Cate as well, even if she has a tendency to take herself too seriously. But I just think this movie is sounding more and more like a disaster. Todd Haynes can run the gambit between brilliance and utter crapola; there's nothing middling about him.

I suppose 35 (or so she claims to be) is a bit shy of middle age... but it's definitely around the corner from it. I'm a few years older and I consider myself firmly middle aged. I have never understood why people in their late 40s and 50s consider themselves "middle aged." I mean, since when did people begin to assume we were all going to live to be 100?
