Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
