Bright Young Things

CriticsCritics: 65
AudienceAudience: 6.6

In 1930s England, a lively circle of wealthy young socialites fills gossip columns with extravagant parties and reckless behavior. An aspiring novelist, struggling to afford marriage after customs officials seize his manuscript, takes on new work while trying to keep pace with his friends and their chaotic world.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy witty period comedies, lavish parties, eccentric characters, and ensemble casts; Not for you if you need a tightly focused plot or deeply sympathetic protagonists.
