This film is absolutely great, the soundtrack the camera angle Charlize Theron as the main character create a movie full of power, since my favourite scene in the beginning when she drives to Mercury. A powerful scene that makes the audience dream about a the perfect car trip with the soundtrack of a magic moment. When I watched this film for the first time I was thrilled. I immediately loved Mavis character because she is sensitive, funny and represent the typical character that until the end of the movie I hope could be happy and finally change her life.
