    A Delight!

    The film was recommended on none of the "Best Of" lists for 2015 and I wouldn't have added to my list of what to watch for that year had I not been a fan of Michael Pitt. Thank Heavens he led me to it, though! I sat and smiled at the touchingly comic scenes all the way through and, rare for me, want to watch it again. Why don't more film makers realise that people being gentle and tender towards each other can make for a really charming, enjoyable film? The actors all do the necessary underplaying with great skill and seem to relish the odd situations and dialogue - Pitt explaining the outcome of a TV series by gesture alone is a marvel. Don't miss it!
