Too many fans seem to be blown away
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
