Beautiful, quiet film. The story is amazing in its realness, hits all the right emotional notes without being cliche or manipulative. Has wonderful touches of humor throughout. Not being a fan of this type of film (and typically finding that the more filmfest awards a movie has the more trite it is) I took a chance and I loved it.
