I swear virtually all of the Oscar also-rans I've seen this year have been vastly superior to most of the films actually nominated for Best Picture.
This was absolutely gorgeous. Low key, but beautifully acted and shot, and with that same sort of poetic melancholy that made Moonlight so special. The whole cast was perfect, but Regina King definitely deserves all the awards love she's getting - like Mahershala Ali in Moonlight, she doesn't get a lot of really *big* scenes, but she just radiates goodness and empathy.
