The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
