Not for me.
This one was very heavy handed on the social messaging to the point that I actually eye rolled a couple of times on how excessive it was getting. Don’t get me wrong I am a firm believer that we need more compassion in this world. I think a lot of problems we face as a society could be helped if we collectively tried to incorporate compassion into our day to day lives. But this was border line preaching that belief. It just did not work for me
