I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
