Charming...

Well-paced, well-plotted, with superlative acting on almost all fronts. Perfectly captures the madness of Festival while still weaving several compelling story lines which, although occasionally tangled, never become irretrievably lost. Although undoubtedly a comedy at heart - its revelations of the comedy scene at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival providing no small amount of material - the movie is, by and large, a sweet-hearted look at love and relationships. There's a lot of soul-searching, some real and revelatory, some self-indulgent and drowned in drink. In the end, with lesser actors and actresses, the film could easily have strayed into maudlin scene-chewing or an emotional morass. Thankfully, however, the sharp script and impeccable acting carries it through to an end less black than the rest of its comedy.
