Amazingly realistic and engaging drama about society punctuated with both humor and grittiness.

Performances are spot-on from the entire cast; each memorable character is finely detailed and full of eccentricities that are beautifully underplayed.

It's quite difficult to find a character we can remotely identity with. This is frustrating because the film is so profoundly well written, acted and filmed.

This is brilliant filmmaking.

This is a spacious, robust movie that grabs hold of us and doesn't let go for nearly three hours.

As a whole, the film is perhaps a bit too gentle and meandering, but it's jammed full of superb moments.

It's a remarkable film; the dialogue takes our breath away with its sharp skewering of expectations and realities, the bleak honesty is balanced by the freshness of real life and moments of raw truth and comedy -- Don't miss it.

This is a very simple story, but it builds beautifully to an endearing and witty romance.

The film has a riveting central narrative, the performances are compelling and, most of all, we need to hear more immigration stories like this.

This is the kind of film you can watch over and over again on several levels, especially as you mine the script for knowing jokes about the theatre (it's packed with them).
