Excellent Character-driven Drama, 13 November 2003
9/10
Author: FNR_Thomas from Texas

This movie has some of the most expertly drawn characters I've ever seen in a movie. The acting and writing is absolutely superb. The ending is uplifting, but not sappy or overly sentimental. It's the type of movie that can be watched again and again.
