Very well executed
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
