This movie is simultaneously a gorgeous symphony of style and a scathing critique of the fashion world, but instead of being limited to one industry its searing witticisms are broadly applicable. The acting is top tier, and there is subtlety conveyed in every line that adds depth and complexity to the characters and plot. Despite its brightly colorful cinematography the world it presents is gray, with every character’s motivations a mix of selfish and altruistic, though the excellent script keeps things clear for the audience. The total effect is a fairly standard setup with exceptional execution every step of the way.

Closest comparison: It’s like Goodfellas in the trappings of Sex And The City.

Setting: Self-actualization
Plot: Fish out of water
Tone: Comedy Drama
