- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.

- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

A sensuous woman, an angry artist, a mysterious puppet maker, suspicious townspeople, mischievous kids; these are the characters in the film.
