Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.

- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
