An incredibly funny, entertaining and powerful story

I watched this film at its World Premiere and I laughed, cried, and left with deep empathy. And I was also thoroughly entertained. It's filled with incredible performances and beautiful cinematography. It's a family road trip film with incredible heart about subject matter of love, acceptance and forgiveness. The leads both give powerful and nuanced performances while also being comedic. This story is based on true events and gives insight into the history of the politics in the 1970s. The production design and costumes brings the audience back to the past. And the ending will leave you with joy in your heart.
