Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
