It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
