Excellent, Without a doubt!!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
