This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
