BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
