Great little Australian movie about death and dying. Experimental, heartwarming and over all wonderful. Just my kind of humor too.

I went to see this movie with low expectations. I figured it would be a depressing mess about life´s unfairness. But I was very pleasently surprised. Despite the heavy subjects, mainly centering around life´s unfairness, this is a warm, uplifting movie filled with charm and heart. You get the comical in the tragical, and to top it of it is excellently shot.

I loved how this story was told. The magic lays in the simpleness, no background music, no clean solution for every problem in the end. No one from Sherrybaby lived happily ever after. And that is what made them alive.

I can't point out anything specific, this is just an all over charming little piece that will make you smile. I promise.

A little on the slow side, but a great character study where a lot was said with very few words. So much changes without any changes ever really happening. Iit's also cliché-free (thank God!) and has absolutely amazing performances. I love Gosling, but he was actually out-done by that fantastic girl Epps. Looking forward to see where she will be going.

This is a little on the wierd side. Or actually, it's quite a lot on the wierd side. (Could possibly be the wierdest film I've ever seen!) And that's both it's weakness and it's strenght. Sometimes it's brilliant, so in sync with the tone of slightly mad sweetness and at those times I love it, sometimes I just don't get what the hell is going on. Over all though, enjoyable.

Visually amazing, constantly thrilling, tight, clever and over all upsetting this movie tied a dark knot in my stomach that didn't loosen up for a couple of hours. If you have the patience and the imagination to feel the scent of Paris this is a must see. And if you don't, it's still well worth your time.

May many laughs in this one. Brilliant dialouge and well used black and white. A hilarious experience.
