I enjoyed it thoroughly. Great performances by all the main players. It's a classic band of misfits story with a lot of charm and heart. Giamatti and Joy Randolph shine and it's absolutely crazy that this is Dominic Sessa's first film role. He is so confident and authentic in this role.


The script is really well-drafted and the characters are complex. A lot can be read between the lines, there no spoon-feeding. But it also isn't overly obtuse or hazy. The characters feel real. A very atmospheric movie too. Shot digitally, but every care was taken to make it look as film-like as possible - including grain and halation. A lot of the artificial light in the background had those green-ish tints to it that older color filmstock would often produce. The attention to detail was astounding. And all shot in actual locations as well.
