Much of this coming-of-ager is so convincingly awkward that I kept needing to hide my face in embarrassment.
Rarely has the subject of dementia been explored with such delicacy and insight as in Sarah Friedland’s feature debut.
A black comedy that is neither dark enough nor funny enough.
The directorial debut of Michael Shannon, based on a play by Brett Neveu.
The romantic, sweet-natured film has the feel of cringe comedy, but only on the surface.
The movie is an unlikely success, one that illuminates the meaning of a place and the passage of time with subtlety and poignancy.
