Joyfully magnetic

First and foremost I was inspired by the wondrous cinematography. I love the movement of the camera in and out of the wondrous ball attendees. The wide scenic shots were magical.
And, secondly Keira Knightly glows radiantly in a first class performance. I would question however it's nomination for a golden globe in the comedy/musical classification. The comedy is more subtle than one might expect for such a nomination - I think of it as more of a drama with an occasional laugh.
As a drama it is definitely deserving of recognition for award nominations though.
A ton of great performances, and engaging story. This is must see!
