Surprising cinematic gem

This movie was genuinely endearing and equal parts sweet, sad, and funny. I was expecting a sort of B level indie film when I clicked on this while surfing films on Amazon Prime but instead was surprised to find a cinematic gem. The acting was impeccable. Coming from a giant family, the sibling dynamics in the screenplay were spot on. I found the whole package surprising, hilarious, and daring - hope this movie becomes a cult classic.
