What the critics say

Most critics praise the warm, well-acted comedy and its social commentary, though several call the writing predictable and climax thin, and one found the first half's chaos hard to embrace.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 7 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
