Reviews
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
