Wise and wondrous.
Subtle and graceful directorial debut.
For anyone who has ever had to balance what the heart yearns for against what the head insists must be, this film should hit home.
It is a sweet, wonderfully acted cameo of a movie about the lengths to which a lioness will go to protect her cub.
On its own terms, Dear Frankie works much better than it really has any right to. Auerbach tells a small, contrived story, but gives it the weight of life.
Dear Frankie's surprises are few and low-key, but the story wraps up nicely.
A Scottish weepie of such bathos and balderdash that it deserves a drinking game in its rotten honor.
