Reviews
A different way of telling a story
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
