I seem to be watching a lot of films about grief right now, which I had been trying to avoid! However this little gem had me laughing and was the exact break I needed!! #tifff50

One of my first out of #tiff50. Bit of a strange year for me so there will likely be fewer reviews. But I can’t help but fall in love with this movie. More Trier and Reinsve in the future please!!
