Despite having complex and important social issues embedded into this film, love is the true driver of this piece as we watch 2 couples maneuver in a society that is unyielding to certain appearances. Sometimes a slice of life is exactly that. A slice, a peak into how people deal with circumstances and challenges in a world where there is no real right or wrong, regardless of what the popular opinion is.
This film beautifully displays struggles in different generations, different genders and different races and displays them for us to experience.
The actress playing Carol steals the show as she demonstrates the pain and confusion while maintaining a happy face throughout. Very rarely can an actor in such circumstances also become the comic relief as she lifts the film into lighter notes as if she were trying to protect the audience as she does herself.
