I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
From my favorite movies..
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
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.
