Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A tepid British drama set in the world of the London theater. Rated: B- Oct 18, 2018 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin The film is interesting but full of disappointments. It starts as brisk light-comedy but quickly falls into the most commonplace emotionalism. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
