Our take

One of the best yet most under-seen American movies of 2018, Patrick Wang’s two-part story is reminiscent of the best of Robert Altman, with its sprawling ensemble cast and wonderfully open-ended storytelling. Full of unexpected warmth, humor, and oddity, it’s a small town drama with huge stakes.
