      Audience Member The movie starts very well, but drags quite a bit in the second half — especially after the plot has been set up and viewers have been primed about where the story is heading. But the movie meanders quite a bit before getting to the point. Still, a good movie with lovely performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
