The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
