It is challenging to find films that focus on the relationships between women. Some of the most profound relationships women experience are friendships with other women, with platonic breakups hurting just as much (or more) than romantic ones. Amidst all the bro-mantic comedies and male-centric dramas, it is challenging to find films that explore female friendship, and the intense bond that can emerge from it.
This is where Someone Somewhere comes in. The story follows two estranged friends: the thought, introspective Margo, and the brash, outgoing Joie, forced one night to come together and confront the unhealthy nature of their friendship. Despite their friendship coming to an end, there is still a lot of love left, and a strong bond that will remain even once they’ve parted.
