The most amazing movie for all the time!!! I wear a t-shirt with Olive face proudly!
Just a riot of emotions from beginning to the end. Great work with the soundtrack, always the same but rearranged with different instruments and with different tones. Applause to the director, that transformed all the drammatic scenes in hilarious one.
Un tripudio di emozioni dall'inizio alla fine. Ottimo lavoro con la colonna sonora, sempre uguale ma riorganizzata con strumenti diversi e con toni diversi. Applausi al regista, che ha trasformato tutte le scene drammatiche in esilaranti.
great cast, great story, great moral, great everything
but fuck the child beauty contest, how's that stuff even legal there across the pond?
This is one of my favourite films and it's so lovely! Balanced audience cringe with feel goodness so the suposedly hard to watch moments are heartwarming instead of spine shivering. LOVE IT
I did not expect all too much from this movie and bought the BluRay mainly because of all the good things I kept on reading about it. But boy, was I in for a surprise: the story is told in a saracastic way and with some very black humour, but at the some time with so much emotions that I just have to love it.
The characters (from the drug addict grand father, over the overworked mother, the suicidal uncle and the mute-by-choice teenage son to the jobless father, who tries to get a new career as a motivational speaker started) are absolutely hilarious, the criticism on kid beauty contests as one example of what is wrong with this world and its beauty mania very pointed and the plot so entertaining that I just regret not having watched this comedy earlier.
This movie has an amazing journey for each character. It therapy for me tbh, I watch this movie when I am sad, not to feel happy but to feel okay. Life isn't about chasing happiness, but about finding happiness along the way.
Wow, what a movie. The messages here, as well as the development of the characters and the performances are some of the best in the biz. Definitely going to give this one time to marinate and fully soak in, but I think this might be a modern classic. I personally read the pageant as a symbolism of everyone and their families out there. We all attempt to put on a show like we're these perfect, well adjusted, amazing people but we're all secretly from weird, messed up roots; and that's OK. The symbolism of the yellow Volkswagen and the modern family structure was also so well done. Sure the door is flying off, it takes a huge push to get going, the horn is constantly blaring and the baggage of your dead grandfather is in the back, but as a unit we hold each other together and can get anywhere. What a beautifully written movie. Damn. I need to watch this again 😅
Brilliant writing brought to life by a hilarious cast.
Just saw it for the first time, it was on my radar for years and finally I saw it.
and is a god damn an excellent movie.
Sad but extremely funny.
A great dark comedy!
