Crappy film
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
