Depois da interessante primeira hora, o roteiro se acovarda e evita se aprofundar nos polêmicos temas que vinha abordando. Além disso, os buracos na trama e os personagens unidimensionais comprometem a história.

Predictable though enchanting..may be anomalous, it may unusual and it may be irresolute in parts, but it’s definitely a well-performed and captivating piece of film
