Reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
