Overrated and overhyped
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
