Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
