Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
