About
You may like this if you want a bittersweet family drama that mixes whimsy with real sadness, somewhat in the orbit of A Happy Event; Not for you if quirky humor around mental illness sounds frustrating.
Pros: poignant family bond; lively, offbeat energy; strong emotional pull | Cons: uneven opening stretch; humor can feel broad; episodic early pacing
