Charming and brutal
A different way of telling a story
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
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.
