Aiello is perfect as the low-key Louis, and there is not a weak link in his entire supporting cast.

It's as insubstantial as a plate of linguini, but very, very tasty.

There are enough plots here to challenge a Robert Altman, specialist in interlocking stories, but the director, Bob Giraldi, masters the complexities as if he knows the territory.

Bob Giraldi's tight, well-paced movie is an example of what ensemble filmmaking can be when it's done correctly.
