Despite the consistently sprightly surface, there's a somber undercurrent that lingers even when love triumphs and the music swells.

A luminous musical about dreams, romance and destiny which lovingly reworks the classic Hollywood 'putting on a show' template into an essay on the emotional rollercoaster ride that is movie-going.
David Jenkins, Time Out

It has charm, sustained human observation, mixed with catchy music, dances and songs to come up as a tuner with grace and dynamism.
