The chemistry between the two main leads is impeccable and the story is pretty sweat.
The fact one of the youngest ocar nominees came from this film is not a suprise at all. Idk man, its just a really easy film to like.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming Depression-era con game played between a cynical drifter and a sharp young girl who may be his daughter, rendered in crisp black-and-white with real affection for its characters' scrappy hustle. It's funny and tender without ever being sentimental, watching two broken people discover they actually need each other.
