From about ten minutes in you are in it, I don't think anyone in the theater moved. Fast paced, funny, tragic, and compelling. The crazy part is I saw this when it was a play...I know what happens...and it was STILL so engaging that I laughed and cried all over again! The camera work and direction are pure magic and the actors are expertly cast. I never would have thought a film of a play could be this exciting?? THIS IS A MUST SEE!!
