Don't listen to the negative reviews
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
