Norbert H Apr 27 When you are faced with real art, quality art, interestingly you recognize it almost in an instant. Some even say that the first five minutes of a movie contains everything you need to know whether it is worth watching or not. That is exactly how I felt here. Very soon in the movie, I knew that I am lucky enough to take part in a wonderful journey, something beautiful, something of quality art. Nobody could have done this film any better. Everything is perfect: the acting, the script, etc. But what really grabbed me was the music: the soundtracks, the score! OMG! 10/10 See more Igor S Jan 19 I enjoyed this movie very much. It has its clichés but it's a well done movie. See more Danny A 08/14/2023 Película encantadora con un giro final interesante See more Read all reviews
