Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive with Collider praising the "brilliant ensemble cast, standout performances, and a sharp script...a cinematic feast for the eyes, ears, and mind" and The New York Times declaring it "enchanting". Movie Nation declares it "an embarassment of acting riches, laugh-out-loud funny when it wants to be and thought-provoking when it dares to be".
