An aspiring fashion designer is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something darker.

Thoroughly silly and stupidly enjoyable.

It all makes for an immersive evocation of time and place, and a more sober, if still stylish, filmmaking flex from Wright.

There are worse things a male director at mid-career could do than make a movie about women (and co-written by one) for the first time while also experimenting with themes, styles, and subject matter that are entirely new for him.
