It's very smart, well-made and entertaining, directed with sure-handed control, full of quirky, funny moments and superb acting. The film pretty much avoids clichés, although it does rely a bit on the familiar "Aren't Middle-Americans quirky?" idea for its humour.
The only weakness for me is rooted in the film's strength: I feel like there's not quite enough here and the ending was not satisfying.
Murray's character is beleaguered and despondent, Murray plays him with perfect subtlety But, the combination of his muted performance and the spare storytelling left me wanting more.
