The writing alone is fantastic, but add on the wonderful ensemble cast and youre a for an emotional exploration of which there are few better in the last few years.
Diana Agron is the central character, and is just wonderful, and deserves accolades for the performance she puts in, its good to see her in a great post-glee role. She has such a presence, and even her voice is as warm and beautiful as she appears.
Simon Hedberg as the estranged brother likewise gets a good opportunity here to show us his post geek potential.
Not sure i need to single Mr Hoffman out at this stage in his career, he puts in what you expect, complete with humour and grace.
Ms Bergen is just great, as the matriach, doing so well with the material that you will probably dislike her character (immensely)
The film feels well paced and recollections and flashbacks to me at least seemed perfectly timed to explain characters reactions to circumstances through the film.
If this is Mayim Bialiks first outing, then i cant wait for the second....
