This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
