I like these tangled films, although I always get lost among the countless characters, here it occurs less often, probably due to the outlined, sad and melancholic stories ... Some funny scenes, to lessen our little heart in the midst of so many painful and painful situations ... Very cute and happy, Christmas atmosphere ...

Zoe Kazan and Tahar Rahim
Lone Sherfig directs this wonderful story that is not far fetched. The mom and two boys run from violent dad, a cop. They meet Tahar Rahim who is managing a Russian restaurant. The lawyer friend of Tahar's takes Zoe's case and wins. Her husband goes to jail. Bravo. I could watch Zoe Kazan read the phone book. Now I discover Tahar Rahim is also a great actor. Enjoyed this film. Even minor characters are interesting like the nurse and the lawyer. Bill Nighy is great to see also.
Poverty in New York
It is a moving movie; it has a very good plot and quality performances; it is too undervalued; I highly recommend it.
