The millennials (me) crave community. This was charming! I fell in love with the heart of the ensemble cast and the relationships they built with each other from their lonely worlds. It offers an interesting conversation about authenticity and what it actually entails if someone is allowed to define their own authentic nature. I wasn't a huge fan of the third act and thought it dragged out for too long (especially with the romance that didn't make much sense) but the community building aspect and the fact it faces the messier parts of life without apology were really compelling.
