Romy & Michelle, Explained: Why Their Crisis Feels So Current | TIME CAPSULE

Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion is weirdly relevant today for a late ‘90s movie about a couple of late ‘80s best friends. It wasn't a big hit when it came out in 1997, yet it lives on as a beloved comedy classic of its era, and not just because it has some especially quotable lines. It managed to anticipate many of the anxieties about status, self-image, and expressing your true self that drive people in the current age of social media – despite being released at a time when most people were still going on the internet through AOL.
