Reviews
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
