Reviews
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
