The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
