Une vrai leçon de vie, et une façon de voire les choses différemment. Une grande leçon sur le choix que l'on fait, et le respect des choix des autres
Très bon film avec Julia Roberts...que je n'avais pas encore vu.
Un film qui m’a beaucoup plu. Avec des idées progressistes, de belles musiques, des personnages attachants, chacun a sa personnalité. J’ai bien aimé suivre les relations entre les personnages sans prise de tête.
Julia Roberts hits again 🫶🏻 vive les femmes au final

Girl power tout ce qu’on aime !!
