Great to see a movie with dialog of classy wit, appealing language and a set of actors who seem so real they could be real people. And they have this real life appeal that doesn't have you exclaim at every turn "oh, come on now...!" And the New Mexico scenery has you go "wow!" here and there without doing overdoing.
As a matter of fact, this movie manages to avoid 'overdoing it' in almost every department where Hollywood typically overdoes it. There are no car chases. There are no extraordinary fights. There is no violence with all sorts of weaponry and there's no foul language whatsoever. I would rate the dialog/plot line as the most exceptional item, given the fact that it uses the concepts of philosophy (a notoriously difficult subject) with such skill that transitions it into a normalcy of dialog not expected from normal folks. Great movie!
