This movie was a pleasant surprise. Filled with great, well-rounded characters, wonderful acting and a solid look, it should develop a good following from movie fans. Film tells the story of a poor mother and her struggle to give her young daughter a better life, but her efforts are only quashed(albeit unintentionally)by everyone from her supremely religious husband and his town constable brother.
Extremely well-written screenplay helps to fill the screen with off-beat characters and develops the comedy into an almost farcical atmosphere. I'd call this a cross between "A Fish Called Wanda" and "Raising Arizona". Film keeps a quick pace without ever getting frenzied. A very good movie!
