This is How Movies Should Be Made
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
