Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
