Reviews

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
