Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A black-humored screenplay, realistic performances, eye-catching artwork, and a few creative turns on some well-worn themes.
Filled with aloof and confused characters just treading water, and even if they are likable, it eventually becomes tiresome. It's like one big pity party.
How each person copes with trauma and renewal adds up to a tender tale rich in memorable performances.
The bottom line is that none of this goes anywhere beyond a droning funeral procession.
