Reviews
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
