What happens if you take Hollywood in the 40's, bend a few trajectories ever so slightly and let the story run. What if the people who had to hide who they were, compromise their morals, miss out because of their skin colour, what if these people got the chance to shine? If you have a think against diversity you are not going to like this one, but if you enjoy feeling really good about humanity, this is one for you. The ensemble cast is wonderful, the story shifts and changes, moving in all sorts of directions at once without every 'losing the plot'. There's a subtlety to the way each character is revealed with more authenticity and then is free to live from that rather than the masked version of themselves. I loved it to bits.
Special shout out to Jim Parsons, who is brilliant as the evil agent with the potty mouth.
