the score is pretty good but ultimately steve tries, like the titular character himself, juggle allot of characters and things in a time limit which ultimately doesn't fully work.
there is allot of charm and good things in this film but i wanted to know more of these people. cillian murphy's performance is really good, aswell as for everyone else, the person playing shy is really great specifically.
steve is still good but it suffers from having allot less runtime then it should've had.
its still a very sweet and honest film which makes it worth in the end.(also watch my latest film https://boxd.it/b9kZWJ )
