I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
