Reviews

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
