Tenderness and working through some of life's issues

It was so refreshing to find a film that addresses dealing with personal loss and regrets with both sensitivity and maturity. The excellent acting and direction more then make up for some of the artistic license that results in an inaccurate portrayal of childhood "potty mouths" in the 1960's (elementary school boys did not cuss that way sixty years ago) and the over the top formality of the dance and etiquette instructor. Amazing to find a wholesome and satisfying movie in the ocean of foul mouthed action and CGI based products the are aimed at today's adolescents and young adults.
