Featured review
Amazingly rich, potent, funny, deep, realistic, dynamic script. In each of the characters I managed to see some people I know, and even a bit of myself.
I laughed a lot on lines that felt natural and were still hilarious, unlike "traditional" Hollywood comedies, where a cliche joke gets shoehorned in every 40 seconds.
Visually the film is a little flat and boring, some a-la-Wes Anderson visual flair would go along way to underline the flair in the script. But it also looks warm and comforting.
The acting is top notch, maybe the psychologist looks a bit harder to sell, but luckily I know people who look and act exactly like her, so it wasn't unconvincing for me.
Overall it's the happiest I've been with my decision to invest time in watching a film in a while. Definitely a nice combo breaker from the high-budget American schlock I've been spoon-fed in the past years.
