Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
