In the spirit of many great comedians, Jim Cummings has a knack for taking lines that shouldn't be funny and transforming them into accidental zingers.

Cummings's feature debut doesn't always get the balance right, but when it does it packs a bittersweet punch.

It takes a few narrative risks that won't win everyone over, but it allowed itself to be complex and conflicted about itself. That kept you on the edge of your seat.

It doesn’t always balance its dark comedy and intense melancholy, and it ends in a way that’s a bit too neat for such a story. But when it gets that balance just right, it packs one hell of a gut punch.
