Masquerade is the type of movie I will never watch if I was trying the find a movie. I asked my brother to recommend a movie for me. You can guess, it was Masquerade.

The acting in Masquerade was top notch; each character is brought to life. The growth and changes in a character can be seem. The story is well written with no drag. The movie is simply and beautifully filmed that just pulls you in. Masquerade is an engaging and charming period piece with humor, action, and romance.
