David Stratton The Australian Though the documentary-like scenes of the dressmaking process are beguiling in themselves, the film’s considerable contrivances prove irritating. Rated: 3/5 Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Ohayo’s script flirts with the sentimental but never quite succumbs. The entertainingly caustic dialogue quickens the pace and sharpens the tone. Rated: 4/5 Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat A firehose of sophistication. Rated: 9/10 Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Easy to watch, simple, and enjoyable. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post While much of this film is quite predictable, it is so beautifully done that you will forgive its more obvious moments and embrace its characters. Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills The characters’ credibly thorny relationship dynamic makes writer-director Sylvie Ohayon’s film more than a formulaic seriocomedy, one further enhanced by fascinating glimpses at the behind-scenes minutia of couture creation...

Elizabeth M Loved it! My husband did as well. Heroes the worker. Shows the complexity of relationships; their failings & their strengths. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Overall, for the most part, this is a good and positive film with a touching story of an unlikely new friendship and second chances.  Yes, many moments are familiar or cliche and some details are not all spelled out for the audience.  But putting these aside, I still had a positive time with this film as it ticks all the boxes I'd expect given the story and its themes.  The music score is quite fitting whenever it appears, and the performances are great, although some characters are a little cheesy and cliché.  Movie buffs who are in the mood for a feel-good drama story or a film focusing on dressmaking featuring stunning dresses will find plenty to smile about. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie for the bourgeoisie to fell better about poor people Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
