Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Annie S — 16 Aug 2014

We saw Magic in the Moonlight in Brussels and simply loved it - in fact, we went again and again. I love how you watch it innocently at first, and on second viewing, all has changed and you see things very differently. 5 stars for 3 of us!
