It is a performances centric movie

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
