See it if you like laughing a whole bunch and watching some truly inspired performances and clever dialogue.

Don't see it if you expect a strong narrative/arch or action - this is mostly about complicated relationships and feelings - not much actually "happens".

Relatable, Well-directed, Funny, Original

See it if you want to see a fresh, funny adaptation of a classic play, which grapples with life's complexities but remains inventive and engaging.
