Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2014)

Unfairly dismissed by some as confusing, this kind of sentimental character piece needs a tight focus so all of the nuances of the characters shine through. The characters in this film have a lot of depth and the realism with which they are portrayed by the actors is shocking at times. The acting is very effective. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. Williams is one of the world's supreme artistic talents. It will bring you to tears and make you laugh.
