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.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
