SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
