Reviews
Best movie of this year hands down!
Thanks for the memories!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
