Bright Young Things

Surprising that I hadn't seen this before, but better late than never, I suppose. It's one of those types of films that I'm very strongly predisposed towards liking - a jazz age swirl of lights and music which rushes along and keeps you entertained in such glittering style that it's only afterwards that you realise how terribly sad it all was, really (though Bright Young Things at least allows itself a happy ending for the central lovers) - and I did like it. You might say that it's a bit insubstantial, but that's the point really, isn't it?
