My review · Reviewed 12/22/2018

I spend a fair amount of times researching movies to watch and this one really stuck out because of the gigantic difference between what the critics thought of the film and the audience rating. I almost always side with the critics... until I don't. This film had a ton of heart and in the end was extremely endearing. I love the way the film transitioned from one "scene" to the next and then was tied up at the end in a way that I should have seen coming but did not.
