A much-underrated delight, 19 May 2002
9/10
Author: dahfu from Tucson, Arizona

I must have watched this film close to ten times by now and I've enjoyed it every time. The script is charming, the acting great, the direction masterful and the sense of time and place very convincing. To top it off, it's even a true story. I love this film and I wish they'd bring it out on DVD.
