It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
