It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
