Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
