The defence The Sentimental Softie
“Sincerity is not manipulation.”
The film risks embarrassment to make emotion communal, and that openness is harder than fashionable detachment.

We Are Family

All together, they squat a large apartment and now it'll be up to the parents to come to them!

Court is in session
Put We Are Family on trial.

“The strings are showing.”
Every cue tells you exactly what to feel and when, leaving sentiment to do the work character should have done.
