This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
