The person who enjoys this film will be 1) emotionally mature 2) patient 3)appreciates complex themes.
Like George Clooney's recent works, this film is quiet and takes some time to develop and answer key questions of plot. Viewers will be deeply rewarded with a life-affirming experience. The film holds very universal themes tenderly in its hands. You will feel full and inspired to act on what you've learned here.
