Throughout watching this film I felt like I had travelled back in time and was simply watching a contemporary play. Everything about this movie feels so authentic; the music, the cinematography, the costumes all seem straight out of the 50s. Characters are nuanced and real, and show realistic growth over the course of the film. The overarching theme of understanding and accepting others is done in an organic, non "episode of the week" way. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable film!
