Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
