Great movie could have used a different Sophie
I'm not saying that the actress that played Sophie is bad, I'm just saying she didn't fit the character. When we see Frances loving her friend so much, you kind of need someone shining and fun to be there, her equal her other half. You want to feel down when she's gone. You don't want to feel like "what did she ever see in that girl?" Or maybe that's the point. But I still could have used someone who initially showed a spark and then gradually lost it.
