RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
