Absolutely beautiful. Hal Holbrook is a fantastic character actor, and plays the crotchety old man perfectly. Amy Ryan is nearly unrecognisable (again), and good as ever. In fact the entire cast is great.
On top of that, though, the music is excellent, the cinematography and shots are gorgeous, and the writing is really clever. There's no "bad" side to the feud between the protagonists, and you end up feeling sorry for both. Plenty of laughs as well, although this is not really a happy movie. One of the best things I've seen at the festival so far.

Amy Ryan isn't in the film. I believe you are talking about the gorgeous and amazingly talented Carrie Preston who, in addition to appearing in DUPLICITY, READ? OK!, VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA and DOUBT, stars on HBO's TRUE BLOOD as the read-headed waitress Arlene Foweler. Love True Blood and Ms. Preston's work!
