I didn't know how to take this film initially. Was it a comedy? A tragedy?
The characters are very oddball, the situations frequently a little ridiculous, but the writing, acting (and the English dubbing actually) are pretty outstanding and you quickly fall for everyone. Sara, the struggling abandoned wife, her sister Lynda with the egocentric boyfriend Jasse and a dog whose name sounds a bit like Satan, Helen the interfering mother in law, and the ineffectual church minister, and little Eliot, Sara's son.
There is a lot of warmth and humour which offsets the sadness of the subject (what subject, I hear you ask. Grief, toxic relationships, birth, death, family. Okay?)
Look, I promise you that you're going to enjoy the beautiful, sweet, silly and ultimately moving film. So what are you waiting for?
Go on, give it a go.
