Despite its scruffy edges (or maybe because of them), this little
movie has so much personal vision and heart and insight---it truly
brings characters alive who stay with you over the years. It's very
heart-tugging without being mawkish. Steve Buscemi is absolutely
brilliant in it---he's so good ti sometimes dwarfs the scenes in
which he is not present, and yet when he does scenes with
another actor, that actor is always much better alongside him. The
film is not a polished Hollywood production, so don't expect it to
look like a million bucks. But what it lacks in that area it more than
makes up for with honesty, wit and humor. I absolutely love this
movie and recommend it.
