This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
