Reviews

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
