User Reviews

Excellent Human Comic-Drama

I loved this film! Reminiscent of some of my favorite European films, in that it is character-driven, a 'small story' of Universal appeal, about what it is to be human and living in our challenging world today. Shot basically in one location, this film is filled with colorful characters we can all 'recognize' from our own lives, and yet unique unto themselves. It deals honestly with a subject not often 'discussed' in any entertainment medium, and although the main character's 'journey' could be considered 'tragic', by sharing her pain with her friends and loved ones, she is able to 'live again' and give all of us hope for our own 'tragedies'. Excellent script, direction and acting. If you'd like to laugh (and cry through your tears!), and rejoice that 'you are not alone' in whatever trials life brings you, check out this precious gem of a film.
