About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, character-focused story with dry humor and a reflective mood about starting over; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big plot turns, or constant laughs like in Daddy Longlegs.
Pros: dry, offbeat humor; moving immigrant perspective; strong lead performance | Cons: very slow pace; meandering second half; thin supporting characters
