Ratings and reviews

A brilliant film. If you like slow burning revelations of family relationships you will like this. Wonderfully acted, but very understated. It treads the line between comedy and tragedy excellently. It's filmed in a way that creates a building sense of threat and in the end the danger, when it comes, reminds us about the hardest thing about being human. I really hope to see Amy Schumer in more dramatic roles, I thought she was wonderful.
