CGiii Comment

It starts off so sweetly and then, rapidly, becomes repetitive and tedious.

The silences are too numerous and the dialogue goes around in dizzying circles.

The young actors do an admirable job but, and it may be cultural, the script will have you tearing your hair out - eventually...some do, indeed, suit being bald.
