The two are exceptionally good at being funny, especially when there is a slightly dark edge to it.

Directed by Ben Palmer, with a script by Tess Morris, this seriocomic feature is a sweet yet bitter tale of finding romance. And one of the most refreshing things about it is that the characters have lived a life.
