SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
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.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
