It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

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.
