It is the most enjoyable voyage into misery and despair you are likely to see this year. The comedic flourishes and talented cast, led by Tig Notaro, make this experience completely worth the tears.

One Mississippi is hardly a comedy, and it's not really about trauma. It's about recovery, and you'll come away from it feeling healed.
