- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
When his estranged father returns, a hairdresser is forced to quit performing at the local drag club.
