What can I say? This movie takes several concepts, ideas and motivations that are so current and poignant and weaves them together is a way that is sheer mastery. At no point does the film ever hit you over the head with any pre-chosen ideology while still keep true to the messages that needed to be said.
One scene in particular pulled at me in ways never before in any movie or book. In the funeral scene, it just hit so many emotions that I have felt, witnessed and often suppressed. All of them conflicting and yet intertwined. And yet you, oh masterful weaver of words and emotions, brought them out in a poignant yet respectful and dignified fashion. There was no race to the finish and brush the negative under the rug. It was present. It was meaningful. I thank you for that.
