Reviews
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
