Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
