The magic of cinema can be also be thought of as a way of conjuring a personality so strong that it becomes the movie. Thus, Greice the character is the movie. The achievement of the film is that in inventing this screwball character which seems to slip in and out of situations with a lie and a smile it forces the viewer to examine their own willingness to accept the film's artifice. The film's charm (and its more corrosive analytical aspect) are intertwined in a single character, inseparable from each other. - Jhon Hernandez
