Reviews
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
