Another good one from the best purveyor of kitchen-sink realism out there. He's been making focused, intelligent tributes to ordinary people for forty years now and hasn't lost his touch.
His characters are as flawed, interesting, lovable, needy, as real as the people who live on your block. Because they're so unaffected we slip easily into their lives and before two hours has passed we find that we care about them, their fate matters to us, their failures and sorrows make us hurt. The steadiness of the principle couple here reassures us as much as it does the other characters in the film.
The film wasn't profound...it just felt right.
