I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
