I have such mixed feelings about this film. I loved the thoughts and emotions it provoked in me....but I don't know to whom I would recommend it?
There are these conversations between characters which are vulgar, extraneous, mundane...
There is humor, and I wonder how much is truth? How much is caricature? Does it matter?
And then there are moments of poetry, and tragedy, and beautiful heart-ache, and wisdom.
And maybe I'm looking beyond the mark, but the movie seemed real to me in that life is messy - it's not all beauty and truth. It is one moment silly, or stupid, and the next moment eternal, and profound. And God sees it all, understands it all.
