Reviews
Perfect cast and a good story
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
