What a waste of my time!!!
What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
