A brilliant film that helped define a genre
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
