Reviews

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
