Likable yet tonally untidy.

I'm not suggesting that this is an invalid subject for a movie, only that it's not one you want to see treated with on-the-nose therapeutic shallowness.

3.0/4.0

Beautifully shot and expertly directed, the heartfelt story, as strange as it seems on the surface, is one with which we can all connect.
