Danilo Castro

It’s the sort of resonant, mid-budget film that we see so rarely these days, and it’s a reminder that when Payne is at his peak, few directors are more skilled at depicting the paradox of human behavior.

The film could have easily crossed over into a manipulative, melodramatic tearjerker, but instead, Payne treats the material with profound emotions and a very human sense of humor.

It deals with some weighty subject matter in a real and thoughtful way. It shows glimpses of greatness even though it’s brought back down by some poor creative direction...
