I wanted to but couldn't!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
