Let's be realistic.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Not having seen the film at the cinema, I waited for the DVD version to savor this film I had read enthusiastic reviews(especially for the uncut version): I was not disappointed, not at all, but it seems not an absolute masterpiece. I very much appreciated the description of the world of fashion and television in its "normality", without the usual stale and American bombast,and Douglas Dean interpretations and Marcus J. Cotterell great in the shady part of the television producer. The rhythm of the film is good but some choices have not convinced me since ending a bit 'too simplistic. A nice movie, very good director's debut, to see!
