I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
