But it’s also still incredibly beautiful, and heartfelt, and funny, and fun the whole time. It’s the best film I’ve seen in years. It should be up for all of them, I think. And, yeah. It makes me… It’s weird to have one of my favorite films directed by people I know now. It’s very… It’s slightly awkward. I feel weird telling them about it, but it is. It’s incredible.”
