About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a small-scale, offbeat comedy-drama about ambition, family friction, and sexism in a niche industry, with more smiles than big laughs; Not for you if you dislike talky indie vibes like While We're Young.

Pros: original voice-over premise; warm-hearted humor; strong dialogue moments | Cons: uneven tone shifts; underdeveloped subplots; preachy gender messaging
