Reviews
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
