While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
