This is a lovely film, filled with very well-rounded characters, sharp script work and packed with actors who can actually act. This is one of those movies you can simply relax with. You don't need a PHD to understand it and you don't need ear defenders to save your hearing from an overblown soundtrack. So pour a glass of your favourite alcoholic beverage, sit back and enjoy.
