Reviews
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
