“Brankocernyu0026#39;s 6/10 review said it better from a cinephile point of view. From the point of view of a less educated film audience member, I can just say it was a boring opera about problems of boringly predictable famous people. Very repetitive. The start with the director was great, the visuals were very nice for the first few minutes. Then it just becomes annoying.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor most of the film I though there was a critique there on the use of child-actors. In the end it turns out it was just a visuals choice. I canu0026#39;t decide whether the u0026quot;rich people problemsu0026quot; was a jab at the peers or just self-regard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEdit: ah, yes, the acting was fine, the songs repetitive. All in all, more niche than I expected, I guess.”
