Lots of great reviews already, I just want to add....

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2019)

That Linda Cardellini as Delores was absolutely luminous and very real and touching in every scene she was in. Her welcoming hug of Shirley, after the stunned Italian family funny reaction, I found wonderful, perfect and believable. I agree with many other excellent reviews, the lead actors perfect, music great, story right on, although when I first heard the theme expected it might be trite. The only scene I felt a little artificial was the black bar scene near the end, but they kind of got away with it anyway. Yes, stereotypical reactions of southern life, but I suspect fairly well depicted when we see what still remains today. Totally enjoyable film. Excellent nuanced performances by both leads.
