Our take

This sweet comedy from Tom DiCillo, one of the most distinctive voices in American independent cinema, combats the monotonies of 9-to-5 life with a playful touch of magical realism. The always charismatic John Turturro excels as a dejected yet lovable man who finally embraces the art of letting go.
