About
You’ll likely enjoy this heartfelt, darkly funny recovery story if you want sincerity mixed with irreverent cartoons; Not for you if you need constant thrills or a straightforward timeline, similar to The King of Staten Island or A Prayer Before Dawn.
Pros: standout performances; honest recovery themes; funny-but-touching moments | Cons: slow pacing at times; confusing early timeline; not for everyone
