Reviews
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
