Love, Concord

There is so much to "Love" about this movie
After watching the behind the scenes Featurette, it became apparent that this film was made for the love of the film arts.

Her, and her role in the plot. A lot of what I saw was magic. The delightfully subtle undertones left me thinking about the movie for a few days afterwards. I absolutely loved the ending.
