the leading man is my tpye
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
