Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
