Strouse offers a light treatment of a heavy situation. And the longer it goes, the deeper the sense of reality, the better the scenes. That's more than unusual. Most films get worse in the third act, not better.

Gently funny and admirably, even unfashionably humane.

We know these characters are going through a lot, even if we don't always see it. And so, this short, ramshackle, shrinking movie manages to stick with you.

To de-stigmatize is a powerful thing, especially when you don't even realize it's happening.
