A gentle yet high-caliber mash-up of Sartre and Wes Anderson’s Bottle Rocket, Carmichael’s film is irreverent, serious, and heartrendingly sad in ways so crushingly honest that the unlikely outcome is spiritual uplift.

This is a definitive statement of what Carmichael can do as a director, transcending the small scope of the film into something grander and more epic.
