I'm very surprised that such a beautiful movie is so much underrated...
Why I'm calling it beautiful because it shows the life from the view of a beautiful person and mother...
I bet you've never watched such a well directed movie with such magnificent acting since ''driving miss daisy'' or ''fried green tomatoes ''...
Ypu just sit and wonder how would my life be if I was Candida...
It's a very good comedy as much as a very good drama it is...
You have to watch it... Don't miss it...
definitely 10/10
