What a brilliant film this is.

Not seen many over the last 15 years that made this kind of impact on me.

Excellent characters with fine performances from all involved.

The way it is structured is also very impressive. You think the movie is heading in a certain direction and then halfway through transitions into another segment where the story continues to develop and finishes perfectly that resolves the story in a profound way.

This is original film making at its finest.

Highly recommended.

4/5 (very close to a 5).
