This movie is so perfectly realized that I want to kneel down in its presence.
So well written, so well directed, so well shot.
And the cast is incroyable!
Courtney Davis' performance is a masterful physical comedy tour-de-force. An amazing amalgam of the dorkiest girl you ever knew - and an evil hurricane of danger (for those women who dare make out with her man).
I'm afraid to say too much more, because raising expectations for future viewers always screws things up.
But I loved this movie. So gentle. So brilliantly conceived. It builds to an unexpected climax that is completely original, and fantastically realized.
Oh what a movie, what a movie.
Joy joy, joy on earth.
