Reviews
Excellent but underrated film
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
