Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
