.. it goes by smoothly and quickly

Whenever you come across these kinds of group ensemble films (and there are quite a few in this 'restaurant' category), you're always making selections as to which pairs you find yourself choosing to follow, and wither or not to patiently wait and deal with others, or fast forward to those you have more desire to watch. But this one's the rare exception, because there are some you find more drawn to, but none are so off-putting you cannot stay through them. And then there's the pair of Bassols and Cornet. Obviously, they're the heart of this warm-hearted film, and to give credit to the production, they're not left on their own, to dominate and overpower it.. (although they most certainly could). Especially with her.. binged.it/ZFFLey .. she is just so stand-out alluring. The film doesn't allow confirmation as to the true range of her acting talent, but it does show a glimpse just how incredible her potential might be.. (and while her still images are beautiful, she's just so much more gorgeous on-screen).
