    The settings make this movie seem real chill but only on a visual level (and that's not a bad thing). Each family member is developed well enough for the person watching to form a genuine care for each one of them.

    Contrary to those Oscar-heralded pieces of garbage, this is a movie that doesn't structure its characters into the confines of a narrative pie chart and doesn't treat these individual experiences as manipulated moments for the audience to laugh at, but as a collective recollection we can all fondly recall as at least partially our own. Too many films falsely pretend that people aren't inherently weird. Here, that quality is the one most celebrated.
