Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Sits nicely alongside Instructions Not Included.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
