It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
