What I liked

It was such a slow, surprising burn. By the end I was completely gripped. I was impressed by the script and the caliber of acting.

What I didn't like

I thought the dramatic elements were stronger than the comedic ones. I know the laughs set the audience up for the darker twists, but they didn’t seem as “real” as the more drama.

My overall impression

What starts off fun and light becomes something more personal, emotional and moving, before turning into a meditation on the lies and we tell and the secrets we carry. Each actor brought something special and unique to the role and had a moment to truly shine. I felt lucky to have seen it.
