It's a film whose cast is utterly sweet and lovely to look at even if the movie feels incredibly thin.

"Ladies" is let down by a screenplay lacking the sharp wit and emotional depth to bring its characters and themes fully to life.

Ladies in Black isn't really a plot-driven movie, it's more of a mood, it's about inviting you to spend some time in this lovely, quaint world where it's always sunny.

In wishing to remain light-hearted and effervescent, it is largely silent about the pain of exile and the wearying toll of racism and xenophobia on the migrant.
