To me, this movie is perfection.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
