The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
