Beautifully shot movie

by sylvainlochlan • 2022-04-21

10/10

"Yes, the movie was slowly paced and the story was simple yet relatable. There was a lot of bed scenes, which given that Sergei Polunin was the love interest was not a bad thing in the least. Did I mention Sergei Polunin? Laetitia Dorsch was wonderful as well. If you can, watch this movie. Just make sure your kids aren't around lol...."
