Really lovely film that would have been be better had it ended a few minutes before...

It is largely because this is not a "Hollywood production" that this film is so appealing to viewers like me. Throughout it seems genuine; it prioritizes depicting the story rather than building a plot engineered to entertain us, the audience. The script and the acting were good. I was both charmed and emotionally engaged - sympathising with the protagonist - glad at her 'wins' and sad at her 'losses'.

I wasn't even dissapointed by the fact that I correctly guessed who committed the crime way before the filmed revealed it.

This, in my opinion, in a really good and thoroughly enjoyable film. That said, unless you're a sucker for the "hollywood film recipe" just skip the last few minutes - stop watching around 1:48:00 - the film would be so much better without the ending that follows.
