• It’s visually unspecial (time out London calls it “visually plain”) and adores it as most critics do
  • It’s really a sprawling character and relationship study comedy/drama built on the strength of the acting- which is great—not really an auteur film at all
  • There are two scenes that near on transcendence and putting this film beyond just the acting/writing- it’s the poster scene and the Whitney Houston scene- I just wish there was anything going on visually or formally
  • Sandra Huller and Peter Simonischek are really solid in the two leads
  • Really disappointed given the buzz and metacritic score (93)
  • Recommend- not in the top 20 of 2016
