Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
