Splendid, beautifully played and nuanced film

This film is a joy: sensitve, nuanced and thoughtful. Other reviews (not necessarily on IMDb) suggest it lacks a killer punch or clear plot line but the sum of its parts amounts to a deft slice of the human condition in all its frailties. Fine, subtle, performances and nicely unresolved. If that's not your thing, best avoided (and reviewed).
