- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Pleasant watch even if it telegraphs all of it’s punches. “Great writer’s steal,” must be quoted about a dozen times before the unthinkable happens. Still, the charism on screen sells it. Julie Delpy 😍, Richard E. Grant 🤩 and Daryl McCormack are all excellent. Worth checking out.
