Review:

It’s an amazing tale. Only a few can ever be mad e like it. It’s an elegant and beautiful illustration of a breath-taking story!!

You wouldn’t get bored in one single moment of the story. The movie is full of comedy. Sarcasm can be seen time to time in the movie.

The intellect of the story and its elegance binds the audience. Everything is pretty in this movie the hotel, the costumes, the pastries, the train, the prison …. Everything!! It’s a must see movie.

The bottom line it’s a movie you regret missing.

The whole crew must have put their hearts out making it.
