Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
