Mjeteconer Just perfect...
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
