WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
