The film risks embarrassment to make emotion communal, and that openness is harder than fashionable detachment.

Put Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.
“The strings are showing.”
Every cue tells you exactly what to feel and when, leaving sentiment to do the work character should have done.
